De novo myoclonic status epilepticus in Alzheimer disease

The association between Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and epileptic seizures is well known [1, 2]. Several studies reported an increased risk of late-onset unprovoked seizures in AD patients. The most common seizure type is represented by non-motor focal seizures with impaired awareness [1]; myoclonic jerks can also occur [1, 3]. Non-convulsive status epilepticus has been rarely reported.
