Epilepsia Partialis Continua without Radiological Abnormalities in an HIV-infected Patient: A Case Report

Epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) without intracranial abnormalities is a rare presentation in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. In our case report, the patient presented with left-sided clonic-myoclonic seizures that were resistant to initial anti-seizure treatment. This condition is classified as EPC. Lesions that could be linked to episodes of EPC were not evident on magnetic resonance imaging. Electroencephalography showed right-sided centroparietal epileptiform activity. After blood testing, the patient was diagnosed with HIV. Dual antiseizure medications were administered, leading to seizure cessation after three days.
