"Epilepsia partialis continua" due to multifocal encephalitis: favourable outcome after immunoglobulin treatment.

F Barontini1, S Maurri, A Amantini.   

Abstract

The case of a young woman with EPCK is described in which neoplastic and vascular disorders were excluded. Supported by EEG and PET, EPCK was imputed to multifocal encephalitis notwithstanding serological and CSF negativity. Cerebral biopsy confirmed the inflammatory nature of the affection, although the etiologic agent was not identified. High dose intravenous immunoglobulin therapy was followed by the prompt disappearance of EPCK and the remission of the other neurological deficits.
