Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is an uncommon rapidly progressive neurological disorder which can have protean clinical presentations.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Since this infection does not directly involve the brain it might not appear as a possible cause of epilepsy, but has been shown that meningitis can cause epilepsy, which would give rise to the possibility of developing epilepsy partialis continua.[en.wikipedia.org]

A diagnosis of CJD should be considered when a rapidly progressivedementia is accompanied by abnormal movements. EPC, although rare, may present as an initial manifestation of CJD.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Intracortical conduction time could be particularly prolonged because of the synaptic abnormalities that have been observed. 60 Postanoxic Encephalopathy Postanoxic encephalopathy is characterized by dysarthria, ataxia, pyramidal signs, rigidity, epilepsy[clinicalgate.com]
Whilst cranialneuropathy is the commonest presenting feature in adults with neurosarcoidosis, paediatric patients are more likely to present with seizures. Diagnosis presents a clinical challenge as a result of its protean manifestations.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
CONCLUSIONS: The present case suggests that the possibility of central nervous system involvement by HIV-1 should be taken into account in the diagnostic workup of patients with EPC. This case also indicates that treatment can be effective.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology Since the first description by Kojewnikoff, a number of isolated case reports and small case series have elucidated this syndrome further. However, few epidemiologic studies have been performed.[emedicine.com]
A new pathophysiological model is thus proposed for the occurrence of epilepsia partialis continua in both cortical and subcortical disease processes.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
