Abstract
We report a case of hypermotor seizure activity. The patient presented behavioural changes with previous reports of normal electroencephalogram (EEG). A prolonged video EEG of this patient showed rare epileptic abnormalities over the left frontocentral region, which ruled out a conversion disorder diagnosis. Management using Antiepileptics proved beneficial in this case.
