TDCS in a patient with epilepsia partialis continua

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can be used to modulate cortical excitability. Anodal stimulation increases, cathodal stimulation decreases cortical excitability. Only one study has evaluated the influence of tDCS on the seizure frequency in 10 patients with cortical dysplasia and showed a reduction of seizure frequency and decreased interictal epileptic discharges in the EEG after cathodal stimulation. Here, we present the case of a 26 year-old patient suffering from epilepsia partialis continua (Kojewnikow's syndrome) with acoustically triggered myoclonic jerks of the left face following spring-…
