A rare case of prolonged aphasia linked to epilepsy in a multiple sclerosis (MS) patient highlights new demyelinating lesions as a potential seizure trigger. This study explores the connection between MS, epilepsy, and aphasia.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Epileptology
  • Neuroimmunology

Background:

  • Aphasia as a manifestation of simple partial status epilepticus is uncommon.
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease affecting the central nervous system.

Observation:

  • A patient with a 10-year history of MS presented with prolonged mixed aphasia.
  • The patient remained conscious throughout the aphasic episode.
  • Continuous periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges (PLEDs) were observed on electroencephalogram (EEG).

Findings:

  • A strong correlation was established between clinical symptoms and EEG findings (PLEDs).
  • Etiological investigations excluded other causes, implicating MS-related demyelination.
  • New subcortical demyelinating lesions were suggested as a potential factor in seizure generation.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering epilepsy in MS patients presenting with neurological deficits like aphasia.
  • The findings suggest a potential mechanism linking MS activity to epileptogenesis.
  • Further research is warranted to explore the role of demyelinating lesions in seizure production in MS.
