Abstract:
We report a patient with 'Leukoencephalopathy with swelling and a discrepantly mild clinical course', an entity of leukoencephalopathy recently clarified. Our patient presented with complex partial seizures in addition to characteristic radiological findings and clinical course. A review of the literature revealed that this new neurodegenerative disease complicates epilepsy in more than half of the patients, and that partial components in the seizure symptomatology are not infrequent.
