- Epilepsia partialis continua treatment.

Treatment modalityDescription and rationale
Antiseizure medicationsMost of the current ASMs can be tried in patients with EPC. Multiple mechanisms of action (rational polytherapy) can be effective.
ImmunotherapyConventional immunotherapy like steroids, IVIG and plasma exchange or non-conventional options like rituximab and others like mycophenolate mofetil and azathioprine, have reported some efficacy in EPC due to autoimmune etiologies (like Rasmussen`s and anti-NMDA encephalitis-related EPC)
SurgeryFocal resection (hemispherectomy) is recommended in progressive Rasmussen`s encephalitis
