An 82-year-old, right-handed male patient was admitted to the emergency room because of continuous rhythmic clonic movements of the right forearm and hand. He was diagnosed with epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) and treated successfully with levetiracetam. In conclusion, we recommend levetiracetam as the first line treatment for EPC, which is mostly refractory to classical antiepileptic drugs.
