Role of Diffusion Weighted Imaging in the Detection of the Initial Phase of the Hemiplegia Hemiconvulsion Epilepsy Syndrome: A Case Report

Abstract

The hemiplegia hemiconvulsion epilepsy syndrome is a unique and rare epileptic syndrome. We are reporting here, a case of a 7 month old female child who presented with right sided hemiconvulsions, followed by ipsilateral hemiplegia. MRI of the brain was done, which showed the classical findings of the hemiplegia hemiconvulsion epilepsy syndrome.
