Epilepsia partialis continua is a rare epileptic syndrome presenting with simple, partial, repetitive motor seizures. It can be a result of structural central nervous system lesion or due to metabolic causes. We report a case of a 65-year-old male patient diagnosed with EPC secondary to diabetic ketoacidosis.
