Lingual epilepsia partialis continua in neurocysticercosis

Lingual epilepsia partialis continua: a detailed video‐EEG and neuroimaging study

“…Motor epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) of the tongue is an extremely unusual epileptic condition. In recent years, a few clinical cases, some containing video images, have been reported (Kinirons et al ., 2006; Nayak et al ., 2006; Vukadinovic et al ., 2007; Li et al ., 2010; Yilmaz et al ., 2010; Iyer et al ., 2014; Sureshbabu et al ., 2017). However, in most descriptions, the ictal recordings were either normal or inconspicuous.…”

First description of lingual focal motor status epilepticus due to acute ischemic stroke

“…3 Since then, some further cases have been reported in the literature, whereas descriptions of focal motor status epilepticus involving one half of the tongue are rare. The most common etiology of lingual focal motor status epilepticus reported in literature is Rasmussen's encephalitis, 4 especially in children, followed by infections (herpes or neurocysticercosis), 5,6 paraneoplastic encephalitis, 7 or metabolic disorder. 8 Herein, we describe a case of lingual status epilepticus (SE) due to ischemic stroke; to our knowledge, this is the first reported case of such SE semiology in the context of an acute stroke.…”
