Schizencephaly is a very rare neurological disorder usually discovered during radiological evaluation of children and young adults with seizure disorders or neurodevelopmental anomalies. We present a 66-year-old patient with right-sided hemiatrophy and paresis presenting with an adult-onset seizure disorder. Her seizure was satisfactorily controlled with a single-therapy antiseizure drug. Congenital brain lesions should be part of the differential diagnoses in patients with epilepsy who have body asymmetry dated back to childhood.

This case series describes the clinical features, diagnostic challenges, treatment approaches, and outcomes of three adult patients with COQ8A-related CoQ10 deficiency presenting with focal status epilepticus, who were effectively treated at the Department of Neurology, Philipps University Marburg, Marburg, Germany. The patients, all from consanguineous families with the first two being siblings, presented with a late onset of the disease, characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia and epilepsy, with clinical deterioration and focal status epilepticus occurring in adulthood. The first patient exhibited myoclonic status, while the second and third patients presented with bilateral tonic-clonic seizures followed by focal status epilepticus manifesting with cortical blindness.

Introduction: Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL) are a group of lysosomal storage disorders characterised by progressive neurodegeneration caused by an accumulation of ceroid lipopigment in lysosomes of neurons and other cell types. Adult-onset NCL (Kufs disease) differs from childhood forms by its later onset and preserved vision. Type A (Kufs A) presents as progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME), while Type B (Kufs B) manifests as dementia with motor involvement.
