Although its ethiopathogenesis is yet obscure, autoimmunity, local ischaemia and injuries, vaccination, irradiation, vitamin K injections,<jats:italic>Borrelia burgdorferi<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>Varicella<\/jats:italic>infections have been incriminated. A 4-year-old girl who had been followed up for about 18\u2005months with diagnosis of epilepsy had a colour discolouration and depression that first appeared 1\u2005year ago and then progressed on her left frontal region. Her CT scan showed a thinning in the frontal bone and depression in the frontal region. These findings are described as \u2018en coup de sabre\u2019 a rare form of linear scleroderma localised at the frontal region of the scalp. In this paper, we present clinical and radiological findings of a 4-year-old girl with epileptic seizures that started 1\u2005year before the onset of the lesion of linear scleroderma.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2012-007837","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,10]],"date-time":"2012-12-10T17:19:19Z","timestamp":1355159959000},"page":"bcr2012007837","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Frontal linear scleroderma en coup de sabre associated with epileptic seizure"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"2012","author":[{"given":"Rahime","family":"Inci","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mehmet Fatih","family":"Inci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fuat","family":"Ozkan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Perihan","family":"Ozt\u00fcrk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025042707501403000_2012.dec09_1.bcr2012007837.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2010.05.045"},{"key":"2025042707501403000_2012.dec09_1.bcr2012007837.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1085-5629(98)80059-X"},{"key":"2025042707501403000_2012.dec09_1.bcr2012007837.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1085-5629(98)80061-8"},{"key":"2025042707501403000_2012.dec09_1.bcr2012007837.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000018236"},{"key":"2025042707501403000_2012.dec09_1.bcr2012007837.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4362.1996.tb03633.x"},{"key":"2025042707501403000_2012.dec09_1.bcr2012007837.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1468-3083.2001.00166.x"},{"key":"2025042707501403000_2012.dec09_1.bcr2012007837.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1468-3083.2001.00152.x"},{"key":"2025042707501403000_2012.dec09_1.bcr2012007837.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1468-3083.2001.00153.x"},{"key":"2025042707501403000_2012.dec09_1.bcr2012007837.9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2005-0470"},{"key":"2025042707501403000_2012.dec09_1.bcr2012007837.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0387-7604(02)00147-x"},{"key":"2025042707501403000_2012.dec09_1.bcr2012007837.11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1875-9572(09)60081-4"},{"key":"2025042707501403000_2012.dec09_1.bcr2012007837.12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/01.wnl.0000334474.88923.e3"},{"key":"2025042707501403000_2012.dec09_1.bcr2012007837.13","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"321","DOI":"10.1016\/S1010-5182(03)00028-3","article-title":"Parry-Romberg syndrome: intracranial MRI appearances","volume":"31","author":"Moko","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Craniomaxillofac Surg"},{"key":"2025042707501403000_2012.dec09_1.bcr2012007837.14","first-page":"145","article-title":"MR of brain involvement in progressive facial hemiatrophy (Romberg disease) reconsideration of a syndrome","volume":"15","author":"Terstegge","year":"1994","journal-title":"Am J Neuroradiol"},{"key":"2025042707501403000_2012.dec09_1.bcr2012007837.15","first-page":"141","article-title":"Childhood scleroderma and its peculiarities","volume":"58","author":"Blaszczyk","year":"1996","journal-title":"Cutis"},{"key":"2025042707501403000_2012.dec09_1.bcr2012007837.16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/S0190-9622(03)00901-0"},{"key":"2025042707501403000_2012.dec09_1.bcr2012007837.17","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1585","DOI":"10.1212\/01.WNL.0000124518.25087.18","article-title":"Neuroimaging findings in scleroderma en coup de sabre","volume":"62","author":"Appenzeller","year":"2004","journal-title":"Neurology"},{"key":"2025042707501403000_2012.dec09_1.bcr2012007837.18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1098-2752(2000)20:4<167::AID-MICR4>3.0.CO;2-D"}],"container-title":["BMJ Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/syndication.highwire.org\/content\/doi\/10.1136\/bcr-2012-007837","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,27]],"date-time":"2025-04-27T14:50:22Z","timestamp":1745765422000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/casereports.bmj.com\/lookup\/doi\/10.1136\/bcr-2012-007837"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,10]]},"references-count":18,"alternative-id":["10.1136\/bcr-2012-007837"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/bcr-2012-007837","relation":{},"ISSN":["1757-790X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1757-790X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,10]]}}}
