- Epilepsia partialis continua treatment.
Treatment modality | Description and rationale |
---|---|
Antiseizure medications | Most of the current ASMs can be tried in patients with EPC. Multiple mechanisms of action (rational polytherapy) can be effective. |
Immunotherapy | Conventional 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) |
Surgery | Focal resection (hemispherectomy) is recommended in progressive Rasmussen`s encephalitis |
