مستخلص: | A 25-year-old woman with childhood-onset refractory epilepsy and developmental delay experienced a gradually progressive marked deterioration in mobility and seizure control, with language regression. Investigation identified a homozygous deletion within the contactin-associated protein-like 2 gene ( CNTNAP2 ), underlying her early presentation, but also cerebral folate deficiency that most likely contributed to her later deterioration. Following antiseizure medication adjustment and treatment with folinic acid, she stabilised with improved seizure control and limited improvement in language and motor function; she has remained neurologically stable for more than a decade. That the previously observed neurological decline was halted by folinic acid replacement supports this being due to cerebral folate deficiency. Metabolic conditions are less well recognised in adults and can be under-diagnosed. They are potentially treatable and should be considered even in the presence of another cause, particularly when the presentation is not fully compatible.
