Abstract
Dravet syndrome (DS) is a severe genetic epileptic encephalopathy mainly caused by <i>SCN1A</i> mutations.<sup>1</sup> Children usually develop frequent and pharmacoresistant seizures of several types. Besides cognitive delay, some patients later develop gait ataxia. “Crouch gait” has also been described in older patients.<sup>2,3</sup>
