Epilepsia Partialis Continua Associated with Non-Ketotic Hyperglycaemia

摘要

Epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) is a rare epileptic syndrome, which may observe in non-ketotic hyperglycaemia (NKH). Seizures are resistant to antiepileptic drugs and respond best to insulin. Here we report a patient who presented EPC without diabetes. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed subcortical hypointensity signal changes in the left parietal region on T2 weighted and FLAIR images. Her symptom remitted completely after correction of hyperglycaemia. We suggest that EPC may be the first manifestation of undiagnosed diabetes.
