Seizures Induced Pleocytosis

Orit Schachter, Opher Globus, Meir Mouallem

Cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis has rarely been described as a possible transient finding following epileptic activity. We report a 68-year-old woman who presented with acute confusion and Cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis. No evidence of an inflammatory, infectious or neoplastic cause explaining the pleocytosis was found. We presume that the pleocytosis in this patient was a result of epileptic convulsions. The mechanism for this finding is not fully understood.
