AB  - Non-convulsive SE (NCSE) is characterized by altered consciousness with or 
      without slight motor manifestations or other phenomena such as aphasia, sensory, 
      auditory, emotional, gustatory or other symptoms. A 69-year-old right-handed man 
      developed the sudden onset of apraxia in his right arm. On admission, the patient 
      was alert and well oriented. In his past medical history, an intracerebral 
      hematoma (ICH) in the left temporo-parietal area was noted occurred five years 
      before the current admission. An electroencephalography (EEG) showed rhythmic 
      theta-delta activity with fluctuating frequency between 1.5 and 5 Hz in the left 
      centro-parieto-temporal area, which promptly responded to the intravenous 
      injection of 2 mg clonazepam and 1000 mg levetiracetam. Apraxia resolved 
      completely and the EEG demonstrated intermittent non-rhythmic delta-theta slowing 
      in the left temporo-parietal area. A cranial CT scan showed residual cystic 
      encephalomalacia in the left temporo-parietal area due to the previous ICH. An 
      MRI exhibited an old parenchymal defect in the left temporo-parietal area with a 
      residual hemosiderin rim on the susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) and no 
      diffusion restriction on the diffusion weighted image (DWI). NCSE presented with 
      right arm apraxia in our patient with a post-hemorrhagic residual parenchymal 
      defect in the left temporo-parietal area.
