Involuntary anterior abdominal wall movements: A rare presentation of truncal epilepsia partialis continua due to stroke

Abstract

Involuntary truncal movements are a challenging clinical scenario in view of limited documentation and experience, multiple close differentials, and variable aetiological profiles. We present a rare case of epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) of the abdominal musculature secondary to acute ischemic stroke. We discuss the case by elaborating on various clinical differentials for abnormal truncal movements.
