Abstract:
In a 47-years-old male patient, partial visual seizures triggered by movement was an early symptom of nonketotic hyperglycemia. Seizures were resistant to conventional anticonvulsivant therapy. During seizures, EEG showed discharges over the right hemisphere. CT was normal. A search for reflex seizures and hyperglycemia should be routinely carried out in patients with repeated focal visual seizures, as shown in the case reported.
