title: [Acute repetitive giratory seizures as a manifestation of nonketotic hyperglycemia].
abstract: This 71 years old women without any history of epilepsy had diabetes mellitus. She was admitted for repetitive giratory seizures in relation with non-ketotic hyperglycaemia. The EEG showed right centro-parietal paroxysmal slow activity. Symptomatology disappeared within 48 hours after insulin therapy. One month later, she presented with a left hemiplegia in relation with a right sylvian infraction. The role of focal transitory ischaemia in connection with hyperglycaemia is discussed.
