Double Cortex Syndrome
by: NMC on Thu, Aug 28 2008

Our beautiful daughter, now 6 years old was born apparently normal. Following delay in developmental milestones, speech delay etc she was said to have a learning disability and global delay. Motor issues were also identified.

At 3 1/2 years following the onset of seizures and an MRI Scan she was diagnosed with double cortex syndrome - apparently a very rare syndrome. We can only find medical information. We would love to talk to some other parents in our position.

She is a fantastic little girl and looks ‘normal’. We were lucky after a long fight to get her into a disability service where she receives helpful Occupational Therapy, Physio, Speech Therapy and Psychology services. She is in main stream school at the moment and even goes to speech/drama/dancing on a sunday!!.

If anyone has any information ….even a little, please share….information is power!
