Abstract
Children with gastroesophageal reflux disease can develop a rare neurological pathology, Sandifer syndrome. There is a high probability of erroneous diagnosis of primary lesions of the nervous system. Differential diagnosis of epilepsy and Sandifer syndrome is complex. One of the reasons for the difficulties in makingthe diagnosis is that the data of instrumental methods do not always have an absolute diagnostic value. The article presents a case of a patient with Sandifer syndrome with clinically insignificant epileptic changes on the electroencephalogram.
