Transient opercular syndrome is a rare epilepsy symptom. This case study details a unique adult patient with unilateral epilepsy and no identifiable structural abnormalities, challenging typical presentations.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurophysiology
  • Epileptology

Background:

  • Ictal transient opercular syndrome (ITOS) is infrequently documented in pediatric epilepsy syndromes like benign epilepsy with centro-temporal spikes.
  • ITOS is even rarer in adult epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) and symptomatic focal status epilepticus (FSSE).

Observation:

  • This report details a unique adult female patient presenting with discontinuous focal status epilepticus manifesting as transient opercular syndrome.
  • The patient exhibited strictly unilateral electrophysiological discharges.

Findings:

  • Extensive neuroimaging revealed no structural abnormalities in the affected hemisphere.
  • This case highlights a rare instance of unilateral ITOS in an adult without a detectable structural lesion.

Implications:

  • The findings suggest that ITOS can occur in adults with focal epilepsy even in the absence of structural brain abnormalities.
  • This case expands the understanding of the clinical and etiological spectrum of transient opercular syndrome in focal epilepsy.
