Forced eye closure-induced reflex seizure and non-ketotic hyperglycemia

Forced eye closure-induced reflex seizure and non-ketotic hyperglycemia

We report an uncommon case of 53-year-old female patient with partial seizure induced by forced voluntary eye closure due to non-ketotic hyperglycemia. The initial laboratory tests showed an elevated blood glucose level of 550 mg/dL but no evidence of ketosis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging was no...

The initial laboratory tests showed an elevated blood glucose level of 550 mg/dL but no evidence of ketosis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging was normal. When the blood glucose levels decreased slowly to about 150 mg/dL in five days, the seizures ended completely. No anticonvulsants were used. Since seizures are generally refractory to antiepileptic medication, control of blood glucose is essential.http://www.saudiannals.net/article.asp?issn=0256-4947;year=2009;volume=29;issue=4;spage=313;epage=315;aulast=Tiras
