A case is reported of scoliosis in a boy with epilepsia partialis continua, an unusual disorder with virtually constant episodes of seizures of only part of the body. The scoliosis appeared to be due to the seizure disorder. The epilepsy seriously inhibited conventional scoliosis management. The patient's scoliosis problem was finally solved by salvage surgery and intensive seizure medication supervision. Scoliosis management in complex seizure disorders presents special and unusual problems.
