Light chain deposition disease (LCDD) is a systemic disorder characterised by the pathologic deposition of immunoglobulin light chains, which is histologically distinguished from amyloidosis by failure to stain with Congo red. Central nervous system (CNS)-restricted LCDD is among the rarest manifestations. We describe a unique case complicated by focal onset epilepsy with impaired awareness for which control with anticonvulsant therapy proved difficult.
