Abstract

Since the initial report of neurologic complications in the form of ischemic events in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP), 1 a variety of cerebral and ophthalmic disturbances has been found in these patients. 2 An association between seizures and MVP has rarely been reported, and only in unrelated persons. 3,4 We report the presence of generalized seizures and MVP in children of the same family.
