“…Therefore, it could be hypothesized that in our patient, the enduring epileptic activity resulted in the disruption of a complex cortico-subcortical network, involving, in particular, the basal ganglia and the frontal cortices, possibly favoured by the pre-existent left hemisphere lesions. This hypothesis is in accordance with previous studies [10][11][12], suggesting that the impairment of an extensive dopaminergic network could result in catalepsy [2,13]. Notably, our patient's catalepsy was unilateral, and only affected his left limbs.…”

Catalepsy is defined as a loss of motor and it is listed among the clinical features associated with catatonic syndrome and may occur in association with both psychiatric and neurological disorders. Isolated catalepsy represents a much rarer phenomenon, and has been occasionally reported due to focal brain injuries (e.g. strokes) involving either cortical or subcortical regions. Here, we describe the case of an 81-year-old man presenting with isolated unilateral catalepsy as the main manifestation of focal non-convulsive status epilepticus, ipsilateral to the cataleptic limbs. To our knowledge, this is the first report of ictal catalepsy, which highlights the need to consider epilepsy in the diagnostic algorithm for both hyper-and hypokinetic movement disorders.
