A case of alternating hemiplegia of childhood is reported. Tonic fits and generalized tonic-clonic seizures developed during her infancy. Frequent twitching and apneic seizures appeared at 16 years of age. Zonisamide transiently suppressed the tonic, twitching and apneic seizures, as well as the facial and neck dystonia. Cranial computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed progressive vermian atrophy.
