Epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) is a rare form of focal motor status epilepticus. There is typically a predilection for facial and distal limb involvement, but rarely trunk or abdomen muscles may be affected. Rarely, EPC may also present in association with cortical dysplasia. In this report, we describe the clinical, neuroimaging and ictal electroencephalographic findings of a young woman presenting with persistent myoclonic twitches of the abdominal muscles that were considered to represent a rare manifestation of EPC due to cortical dysplasia. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of malformation of cortical development causing abdominal myoclonus.
持续性部分性癫痫（EPC）是局灶性运动性癫痫持续状态的一种罕见形式。通常好发于面部和肢体远端，但躯干或腹部肌肉很少受累。EPC很少还可能与皮质发育异常相关。在本报告中，我们描述了一名年轻女性的临床、神经影像学和发作期脑电图表现，该患者出现腹部肌肉持续性肌阵挛抽搐，被认为是由于皮质发育异常导致的EPC罕见表现。据我们所知，这是关于皮质发育畸形导致腹部肌阵挛的首例报告。
