AB  - BACKGROUND: Epilepsies are frequent in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD); 
      however, epilepsies in AD can easily go unrecognized because they usually present 
      as focal impaired awareness seizures or nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) 
      and can overlap with other symptoms of AD. CASE DESCRIPTION: We performed an 
      epilepsy surgery in a 69-year-old woman with progressive cognitive impairment and 
      consciousness disorder, who was diagnosed with focal NCSE related to the resected 
      meningioma in the right frontal parasagittal region. Intraoperative 
      electrocorticography revealed localized periodic paroxysmal discharges with beta 
      and gamma activities in the neighboring cortex where the meningioma existed. The 
      histopathological diagnosis of AD was first made from the resected epileptogenic 
      cortex. CONCLUSION: Even when there is a suspected epileptogenic lesion that 
      could cause focal NCSE, AD should be ruled out in elderly patients with 
      progressive cognitive decline.
