Abstract
To the Editor.— The association of Aicardi's syndrome with multiple papilloma of the choroid plexus has been described in a 13-month-old female infant and a 4-year-old girl.1We describe another example of this association in a female infant.

When she was awake, her EEG findings included supression-burst activities in the left hemisphere and hypsarrhythmia in the right hemisphere.
