Abstract

Subacute encephalopathy with seizures in alcoholics (SESA syndrome) is a rare neurologic disorder complicating the chronic abuse of alcohol. This acute or subacute condition is characterized by transient neurologic deficits, seizures and severe lateralized abnormalities on the electroencephalogram (EEG). Our case demonstrates that in SESA syndrome, convulsive (generalized tonic-clonic) and nonconvulsive (complex partial) seizures may coexist.
