Abstract:
We reported a 57-year-old female patient recently suffering from frequent seizures such as motionless staring and oral automatism. Electroencephalograms showed spikes in the right sphenoidal derivation and magnetic resonance images revealed an abnormal region, most likely related with a migration disorder such as a focal cortical dysplasia. She was diagnosed as mesiotemporal lobe epilepsy associated with a migration disorder. Seizure disappeared after medication therapy was done. No previous literature has described such a case, thus this is the first report of an epilepsy associated with migration disorder newly onset in a patient older than 50 years old.
