Abstract
Focal status epilepticus, particularly the motor variant of epilepsia partialis continua (EPC), is a rare condition characterized by near-continuous, chronic focal motor seizures, and associated with poor outcomes. Medications, including anesthetics, are often unsuccessful. Surgical resection can result in motor deficits. We report a medically complex pediatric case of super-refractory EPC that was successfully managed with combined focal resection and responsive neuromodulation. This case introduces neuromodulation as a treatment modality for this challenging condition.
