Abstract:
Seizures are less frequent in progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), because it is considered to be restricted to the white matter. In addition, types of seizures in patients with PML are mostly convulsive, and seizures are usually present at the time of diagnosis or early in the course of disease. We report a case of chronic PML with recurrent complex partial seizures in the absence of motor component.
