Oculodentodigitalis dysplasia (ODDD) is an extremely rare inherited disorderinvolving the development of the face, eyes, teeth and limbs. In addition,some patients develop neurological problems mostly a spastic paraparesisassociated with white matter abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging.This report describes a patient with epilepsy, a rare neurologic manifestationof this syndrome.
