Abstract:
Status complex partial seizure caused by non-ketotic hyperglycemia (NKH) has been known to be rare. A 42-year-old diabetic man was admitted because of abnormal behavior. Video-EEG monitoring revealed an ictal EEG correlate of this behavior. Brain MRI showed an abnormal signal intensity in the right temporal cortex. Seizures were controlled by lowering glucose levels and a follow-up MRI showed resolution of the abnormal signal. We report a case of non-convulsive status epilepticus as a complex partial seizure type by NKH.
