Implication

Case report demonstrates somatic inhibitory seizures mimicking crescendo transient ischemic attacks in a patient, highlighting the importance of considering epilepsy in atypical stroke presentations.

Key Points

To describe an uncommon presentation of somatic inhibitory seizures that clinically mimicked crescendo transient ischemic attacks.
Clinical assessment and treatment response monitoring in a single patient presenting with recurrent episodes resembling transient ischemic attacks (N=1).
Sequential therapeutic trials utilizing anticoagulation therapy followed by an anticonvulsant medication.
Anticoagulation therapy failed to produce clinical improvement or stop the recurrent neurological episodes.
Administration of an anticonvulsant resulted in prompt and complete cessation of the inhibitory seizure episodes.
