ABSTRACT Epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) is a rare form of focal status epilepticus. It may have vascular, immune‐mediated, neoplastic or metabolic‐toxic causes. The origin of EPC has been linked with the motor cortex. This has been solidly supported by sophisticated electrophysiological studies. Here, a series of video sequences from patients with EPC (due to Rasmussen encephalitis, early‐stage multiple sclerosis, and steroid responsive encephalopathy with autoimmune thyroiditis), and other cases with repetitive myoclonic jerks or movement disorders (myoclonic epilepsy associated with ragged‐red fibers, Jacksonian march, myoclonic seizures in other types of frontal lobe or idio‐pathic generalized epilepsies, and different types of tremor) is presented. [Published with video sequences].
