ABSTRACT
The evaluation of new seizures is a common clinical query for neurologists. It can be challenging to delineate between the numerous etiologies of new focal or generalized seizures and, if focal, to localize their onset. In this case report, we present a 26-year-old patient with a new onset of stereotyped events concerning for seizures featuring facial grimacing, dystonic left-hand posturing, and convulsions with immediate return to baseline. Throughout the case, we highlight a stepwise diagnostic approach to the evaluation of new-onset seizures, discuss clues that seizure semiology can provide for localization of ictal onset, and review a novel and atypical presentation of a disease entity frequently encountered by neurologists.
