Abstract:
A 48-year-old woman presented with right visual aura evolving into versive and clonic seizures. The seizures were controlled not by anticonvulsants but bynormalization of blood sugar and not by anticonvulsants. T2-weighted MRI (T2WI) showed subcortical hypointensity and cortical hyperintensity with a low apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value in left occipital area, which reversed into a high ADC value at in follow-up images. Serial MRIs including diffu-sion- weighted images seemed to reveal tissue injury after partial status epilepticus and regional ischemia associated with non-ketotic hyperglycemia.
