Two Patients with Hemiparesis as Manifestation of Status Epilepticus

ABSTRACT

Inhibitory motor seizure or ictal hemiparesis is very infrequent seizure type and sometimes difficult to differentiate from acute cerebrovascular disease. We report two patients with hemiparesis as manifestation of status epilepticus. One patient showed epileptic discharge on midline frontocentral region by EEG-Video monitoring, another patient showed continuous slowing wave associated with hyperperfusion findings of brain SPECT on left fronto-temporo-parietal region. Both patients showed normal brain imaging.
