Abstract Introduction:
Neuro-regression can occur for various reasons, including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, certain genetic disorders, brain injuries, infections, toxic exposures, or metabolic disorders. It is often characterized by a progressive deterioration of neurological function over time. Neuro-regression can be caused by a variety of factors, including, Neurodegenerative diseases, Genetic disorders, Brain injuries, Infections, Toxic exposures, and Metabolic disorders.

Objective:
The goal of this case report is to highlight the difference between developmental delay and developmental regression also known as Neuro-Regression in terms of differential diagnosis.

Case Report:
A 2.2-year-old male child, with a background of developmental delay and epilepsy was admitted with multiple episodes of breakthrough seizures. Developmental milestones were age-appropriate till 11 months of age (before the seizure). After the seizure, the child’s motor development regressed and the child was not able to sit, or stand. The speech and language milestones were appropriate to the age before the seizure and regressed after the seizure.

Conclusion:
In our study, it's very clear that the child experiencing neuro-regression which is evident based on the parents’ report, previous and present clinical assessments as well and clinical observation. Regression is an indication that more investigation is necessary and team members like a Developmental Paediatrician, Neurologist, and Clinical Psychologist should be involved.
