[Multiple sclerosis as a cause of partial complex epilepsy].
BACKGROUND
Although the epileptic seizures (ES) have been described on patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), the causal relationship is not clear. Seizure's prevalence in this illness is low and their apparition concerning the MS course is variable, but more common after MS diagnosis. The predominant crises are generalized or partial with secondary generalization; the partial complex seizures have rarely referred.


CONCLUSIONS
We presented two patients with ES in the MS course. In the first case is arrived to MS diagnosis upon appearing the crisis, having presented two previous cerebral lesions in another level. In both cases demyelinating lesion was located in the temporal lobe, agreeing with EEG anomaly and seizures type.
