Three patients presented with life-threatening focal motor status epilepticus necessitating intubation,and one had epilepsia partialis continua.All had had seizures previously,and the attacks progressed to intractability after 1.5 to 3 years.Surgery led to control of the seizures,but only two patients became seizure free(mean followup,15.7 months).All but one developed a postoperative deficit,which eventually improved.Focal cortical dysplasia should be suspected when life- threatening focal motor status epilepticus or epilepsia partialis continua occur in children or young persons without another obvious cause.Normal magnetic resonance studies do not exclude neuronal migration disorders. |
