Abstract

Seizure is one of the manifestations of nonketotic hyperglycemia (NKH). Partial motor seizures are observed in most cases and, occasionally, with epilepsia partialis continua. Generalized convulsive status epilepticus caused by NKH is rare. In this report, we present a case of a 68-year-old man who developed generalized convulsive status epilepticus as an initial manifestation of NKH.
