Involuntary truncal movements are a challenging clinical scenario in view of limited documentation and experience, multiple close differentials, and variable aetiological profiles. We present a rare case of epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) of the abdominal musculature secondary to acute ischemic stroke. We discuss the case by elaborating on various clinical differentials for abnormal truncal movements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
