Alcohol‐responsive epilepsia partialis continua
Epileptic Disorders, 2014Epilepsia partialis continua is typically associated with lesions of the cerebral cortex. However, subcortical lesions can also cause this condition. We present a patient with epilepsia partialis continua who failed to respond to conventional anticonvulsant medications but experienced a dramatic transient response to alcohol and a subsequent response ...

Ketotic hyperglycemia and epilepsia partialis continua
Neurology, 2001Epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) may occur during nonketotic hyperglycemia but has not been described with diabetic ketoacidosis. The authors report a patient with EPC associated with ketotic hyperglycemia. Brain MRI showed two areas of abnormal signal intensity in the left precentral gyrus and in the right cerebellar hemisphere.

Epilepsia Partialis Continua following Pertussis Infection
Clinical Electroencephalography, 1985Clinical, electrophysiological and CT findings of a patient with epilepsia partialis continua following pertussis infection are presented. The EEG showed lateralized abnormal slow waves and CT revealed global atrophy around the Sylvian fissure. The findings favor the primary role of the cerebral cortex in EPC.

Scoliosis Due to Epilepsia Partialis Continua
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1985A case is reported of scoliosis in a boy with epilepsia partialis continua, an unusual disorder with virtually constant episodes of seizures of only part of the body. The scoliosis appeared to be due to the seizure disorder. The epilepsy seriously inhibited conventional scoliosis management. The patient's scoliosis problem was finally solved by salvage

Epilepsia partialis continua studied by PET
Epilepsy Research, 1991We report an [18F]fluordeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET study performed in an 11-year-old girl with a 5-month history of epilepsia partialis continua (epc). Visual inspection of PET images showed a hypermetabolic focus in the right central cortex and in the ipsilateral thalamus, which was confirmed by the absolute values of regional cerebral glucose metabolism ...

Abdominal epilepsia partialis continua in neurocysticercosis
Epileptic Disorders, 2019ABSTRACTEpilepsia partialis continua (EPC) of abdominal muscles is a rare entity with variable clinical localization and aetiology. A 25‐year‐old man presented with sudden onset of intermittent focal myoclonic movements involving the abdominal muscles on the right side exclusively, lasting from 20 minutes to an hour. Brain MRI revealed a ring‐enhancing

Epilepsia Partialis Continua Associated With Levamisole
Pediatric Neurology, 2011Epilepsia partialis continua is defined as a spontaneous regular or irregular clonic muscular twitching affecting a limited part of the body, occurring for a minimum of 1 hour and recurring at intervals of less than 10 seconds. Levamisole is used as an immunomodulating medication in patients with recurrent aphthous ulcers. Evidence suggests that it can

A 3-year-old boy with type 1 diabetes mellitus developed continuous myoclonic jerks of the left hand and arm after 5 months of unsatisfactory metabolic glycemic control. Surgical treatment was proposed when the child reached the age of 11 years. The EEG showed abnormalities in the right frontotemporal cortex.

Epilepsia Partialis Continua Due to Cortical Dysplasia
Journal of Child Neurology, 1993We describe a child with progressive neurologic deterioration and epilepsia partialis continua of the right extremities. Magnetic resonance imaging suggested cortical dysplasia of the left frontal region including the central sensorimotor cortex. Subdural grid recordings showed widespread ictal activity and frequent interictal discharges from the ...
