• Epilepsy

  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]

  EPC is as follows: Motor deficit (56%) - Tetraparesis (4%), hemiparesis (23.3%), monoparesis (13.3%), oculomotor paresis (0.7%), facial paresis (10%), hypoglossal paresis (1.9%), soft palate paresis (0-3%) Sensory deficit (21%) - Hemihypoesthesia and hemianesthesia [emedicine.com]

• Cranial Neuropathy

  Whilst cranial neuropathy 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]
