Abstract

This case report aims to recognize early diagnosis for appropriate treatment and avoid possible complications by abdominal epilepsy. In the present study, the patient presented diffuse abdominal pain associated with general state decrease and intense drowsiness during the episodes. After starting continuous use of anticonvulsants, there was improvement in clinical picture. Abdominal epilepsy is a pathology with high level of complexity and rarely, with characteristics of abdominal manifestations accompanied or not by other symptoms and, because it is rare, it is difficult to diagnose.
