We present the case of a 32-year-old South Indian female who was brought to the emergency department with acute hemiplegia and decreased responsiveness for one day.

Seizure is an abrupt change in behavior caused by the cerebral cortex's electrical hyper-synchronization of neuronal networks. After the seizure, there is usually a transition period from the ictal state to the pre-seizure baseline level of awareness and function, referred to as the postictal period.

Purpose: We retrospectively analyzed the seizure characteristics, EEG pattern, treatment, and outcome in a series of patients with self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (SLECTS) who presented with unusual clinical manifestations.

Method: A retrospective, descriptive, multicenter study was conducted evaluating 46 patients with SLECTS who had seizures with an unusual semiology. We collected data from patients with SLECTS seen at eight Argentine centers between April 1998 and April 2018.
