RESUMO
Hemimegalencephaly is a rare cerebral malformation that usually presents with mental retardation, controlateral hemiparesis and intractable seizures. We report a case of hemimegalencephaly diagnosed in adulthood based on MRI findings. The electroencephalogram initially suggested partial status epilepticus. The diagnosis of this cerebral malformation has been made easier thanks to recent progress in cerebral imagery with MRI. We describe and discuss the relevant encephalographic aspects.
