Epilepsia Partialis Continua associated with Hashimoto encephalopathy: management difficulties

Abstract

Both Hashimoto encephalopathy (HE) and epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) are neurological entities less encountered by the clinician. Nevertheless, they imply diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report the case of a 42-year old woman with HE and EPC. Difficulties of diagnosis and management of HE and EPC are discussed.
