Rationale: There is literature that exists to demonstrate cases of focal motor abdominal wall clonic movement seizures mostly from structural or post-surgical lesions and typically the ictal activity originates from a cerebral lobe contralaterally and propagates.1,2 We present a similar case; however, the ictal activity originates from central leads making it less likely to have been muscle activity artifact. To our knowledge, this has not yet been presented in the literature.
Methods: This is a case study of a patient who was cared for at our local hospital.
Results: We present a case of a patient who had right abdominal wall focal motor seizures with preserved awareness after resection of CNS lymphoma in the left parietal lobe. EEG showed rhythmic delta activity in central leads propagating to bilateral parietal lobes. Seizures ceased with anti-seizure medications.
Conclusions: In conclusion, it is important to closely evaluate EEG with seizure semiology that does not have a clear anatomical origin based on literature review as ictal activity can be easily missed which could misdiagnose and improperly provide treatment for the patient.
