Abstract

Objective To analyze the clinical manifestations, electroencephalography(EEG) and molecular genetic test of Angelman syndrome(AS). Methods The clinical data of four AS patients were analyzed retrospectively. Results Both four patients with delayed motor milestones, intellectual disability,and with dysmorphic facial features included big mouth,flat craniumskull, happy laugh incompatible with the environment,et al. Seizures occurred in two cases. The EEG manifested as rhythmic delta and theta in anterior, posterior and generalized areas mixing spikes, and the slow waves often migrate between the different sites. Conclusion EEG is necessary to diagnosis of AS, and molecular genetic examination can be applied for further confirmation.
