Abstract

 Post seizure epilepsy imposes a clinical dilemma in terms of diagnosis and management. Standard mortality rate for epilepsy related to CVA is higher than for all other causes. Effect of post stroke seizures on stroke outcome remains unclear. We present a case report of unusual presentation of CVA as “epilepsy partialis continuum”. More research about specific health related quality of life and measures relevant to post stroke epilepsy is needed for better understanding and optimal management of this clinical condition.
