Abstract
A 69-year-old woman presented with an ictal Anton-Babinski syndrome (asomatognosia with hemiparesis). Except for head and eye deviation to the side of the paralyzed limb, epileptic nystagmus, brief episodes of impaired consciousness, and automatisms, clinical symptomatology was identical to Anton-Babinski syndrome of vascular origin. Results of MRI imaging were normal. EEG showed a simple partial nonconvulsive status epilepticus of right parieto-temporal origin. Anton-Babinski syndrome may thus be a functional expression of focal status epilepticus.
