CONCLUSION: Clinicians should suspect BBGD in any child presenting with sub acute encephalopathy, abnormal movement and MRI findings as described above. Both biotin and thiamine are essential for disease management.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Biotin responsive basal ganglia disease (BBGD), is a potentially treatable inherited metabolic disorder which clinically presents as sub-acute encephalopathy in children.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract Biotin-responsive basal ganglia disease (BBGD) is a recessive disorder with childhood onset that presents as a subacute encephalopathy, with confusion, dysarthria, and dysphagia, and that progresses to severe cogwheel rigidity, dystonia, quadriparesis[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Seizures are mainly simple partial or generalizedseizures and are easily controlled with antiepileptic drugs. Infantile spasms also occur [ Yamada et al 2010 ].[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that over 30 months of treatment, the combination of biotin plus thiamine is not superior to thiamine alone in the treatment of biotin-responsive basal ganglia disease.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We report two patients with BBGD who were metabolically stable on treatment and developed depression later in life.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The purpose of this study is to assess the neuroimaging and clinical features of the disease before and after treatment with biotin.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Methods: We diagnosed a family affected by BBGD and studied them including prognosis of cases when diagnosed and treated early in the disease process.[cns.conferenceseries.com]

I'm particularly curious about this study because based on what they authors are speculating in the abstract, it seems that high dose biotin might be useful in some non-MS cases that may involve a similar etiology (if we knew what the etiology was, of[raypeatforum.com]
The basal ganglia lesions were unusual and the etiology for quadriplegia was not clear. Hence, a "Google" search was done to find out the link between the neurodeficit and the radiological findings.[indianpediatrics.net]
Animal models are vital to understanding the pathophysiology of thiamine and biotin transport in the brain, particularly the levels of biotin and thiamine in the brain at the basal ganglia.[ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

Although its aetiology is unknown, it is important to recognize this disease, since its symptoms may be reversed and the progression of its clinical course prevented simply by providing biotin.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Since biotin alone could not prevent the recurrence of crises in some patients, a more appropriate term to describe the disease would be biotin-thiamine-responsive basal ganglia disease (BTBGD).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
