Status epilepticus in a child with Sanjad Sakati syndrome.

We report a 6-year-old boy who presented with status epilepticus, who had facial dysmorphism, growth and mental retardation. On investigation, he had hypocalcaemia, hypoparathyroidism and bilateral calcification of basal ganglia in cranial tomographs; features consistent with Sanjad Sakati syndrome. He was treated with intravenous calcium gluconate initially followed by oral calcium and calcitriol and recovered completely.
