Gorlin–Goltz syndrome and epilepsy: A two-case report and review of the literature

Abstract: Gorlin–Goltz syndrome, also known as nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, is a genetic disorder with several neurological, cutaneous and skeletal manifestations. Epilepsy has been previously reported as a finding in Gorlin–Goltz syndrome but remains ill-described in the context of this disease. We report two new patients with Gorlin–Goltz syndrome featuring epilepsy and review the existing literature on the topic.

Como forma de confirmação absoluta, pode ser realizado ainda o teste genético para evidenciar mutação no gene PTCH-1 (Sánchez Linares et al, 2018;Tomasso, Assi, & Nguyen, 2020).…”
