Periodic lateralised epileptiform discharges in a case of diffuse cerebral cysticercosis.
A case of diffuse cerebral cysticercosis is described. The case is of interest because the involvement of brain was extensive and bilateral but electro-encephalographically unilateral periodic epileptiform complexes were recorded on 3 different occasions. Possible mechanisms of these lateralised periodic epileptiform discharges are discussed.
