Simple Partial Status Epilepticus One-Day Post TMS to the Affected Hemisphere in A Participant with Chronic Stroke

TMS has become a widely used tool to measure motor physiology in stroke patients, and is emerging as an exciting new treatment for a variety of stroke-related deficits. Seizures are exceedingly rare in TMS studies of stroke. Here we report a case of simple partial status epilepticus in a study participant with stroke one day after single- and double-pulse stimulation. The participant was a 51-year-old male eight months post-stroke from a superior sagittal vein thrombosis causing a right-sided hemorrhagic lesion (25.03  cc) involving the precentral gyrus, the superior frontal gyrus, the medial frontal gyrus, the supplementary motor area, the cingulum and the postcentral gyrus.
