Presentation
Herein, we present the first case of VGPN that had ipsilateral hemifacial spasm and versive seizure-like movement to the same side of facial pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Later that day, the hemiparesis recovered, her dysarthriawas still present and her alertness was normal. One hour afterleft-sided hemiplegia briskly developed (NIHSS score, 11). [documents.tips]

Movement Disorder
Post-stroke movement disorders are well known. They are usually associated with supratentorial lesions and rarely occur in the acute phase, but "seizure-like" episodes can be seen in pontine ischemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
DiscussionPost-stroke movement disorders are well known. [documents.tips]
The most important imitators of epileptic seizures are dizziness, vertigo, syncope, complicated migraine; and somewhat less frequently sleep disorders, transient cerebral ischemia, paroxysmal movement disorders, endocrine or metabolic dysfunction, delirium [books.google.com]

Risk of seizure-related complications like aspiration, and overall morbidity and mortality are lower in simple partial seizures than in those where consciousness is impaired. Simple partial seizures can result in falls and trauma. [statpearls.com]
Generally there is no underlying neurological problem - neuro exam and eeg will be normal Protect them from hypoxia & aspiration Major treatment: get fever down (ice packs, cooking blankets, antipyretic medications) Femobard (sedative) Fematoin (anticonvulsant [quizlet.com]
