Hemiconvulsion-hemiplegia-epilepsy syndrome is a rare and severe neurological condition that results from prolonged status epilepticus in infancy and early childhood. This syndrome is characterized by unilateral prolonged seizures, primarily clonic in nature, which are followed by transient or permanent ipsilateral hemiplegia. In this report, we present the case of a 3-year-old girl who exhibited persistent left hemiparesis after experiencing an episode of prolonged focal seizures at the age of 2 years. Comprehensive neurological evaluation and brain MRI conducted in our department confirmed the diagnosis of hemiconvulsion-hemiplegia-epilepsy syndrome in its chronic phase.
偏瘫-半身不遂-癫痫综合征是一种罕见且严重的神经系统疾病,由婴儿期和幼儿期的癫痫持续状态延长所致。该综合征的特征是单侧长时间发作,主要为阵挛性发作,随后出现短暂或永久性同侧偏瘫。在本报告中,我们介绍了一名3岁女孩的病例,她在2岁时经历了一次长时间局灶性发作后出现持续的左侧偏瘫。我们科室进行的全面神经学评估和脑部磁共振成像证实了慢性期偏瘫-半身不遂-癫痫综合征的诊断。
