title: Epilepsia partialis continua of the abdominal muscles: a detailed electrophysiological study of a case.
abstract: We describe the clinical and electrophysiological features of an elderly woman presenting with persistent clonic twitching of the abdominal muscles that were considered to represent a rare manifestation of epilepsia partialis continua due to a metastatic cortical lesion.
