Seizures associated with Non Ketotic Hyperglycemia is now more commonly recognized new entity Among adults in our area. Hyperglycemic Seizure– a special Neuroendocrine syndrome most commonly due to Non Ketotic Hyperglycemia has got   its unique way of presentation, the clinical recognition of this entity was first made by MACCAIRO in 1965.¹⁴ the seizures may be the initial manifestation of Diabetes Mellitus. In the recent years clinical and experimental studies in animals, apart from routine investigations, CT Scan Brain, EEG and SPECT Scan were done to evaluate this entity. The clinical presentation of hyperglycemic seizures associated with Non Ketotic Hyperglycemia is    studied only by few authors. The real clinical picture needs further studies and evaluation and with this background, we evaluated clinical findings and investigations in all patients with hyperglycemic seizures.
