Super-refractory epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) is a rare, severe epilepsy. This case study shows successful management using combined focal resection and responsive neuromodulation, introducing a new treatment option.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Epileptology
- Neurosurgery
Background:
- Focal status epilepticus, specifically the motor variant of epilepsia partialis continua (EPC), presents as near-continuous focal motor seizures.
- EPC is a rare condition often associated with poor patient outcomes.
- Conventional treatments, including medications and anesthetics, are frequently ineffective, and surgical resection may lead to motor deficits.
