Abstract
Background:
Epilepsy is a well-established and extensively studied condition in both human and veterinary medicine.

Case description:
A 4-year-old captive, intact male ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) presented with a 2-year history of recurrent seizures. History of disease, clinical and neurological examination, blood and immunological examination for Toxoplasma gondi and magnetic resonance imaging were conducted to identify potential underlying causes of the seizures. MRI findings were consistent with idiopathic epilepsy, and an antiepileptic drug therapy was initiated with oral phenobarbital 10mg/animal BID. Serum levels were monitored to ensure therapeutic efficacy. Following the initiation of treatment, the patient experienced successful control of seizures, with no significant adverse effects noted during the follow-up period.

Conclusion:
This case describes the diagnostic approach and management of seizures in Ring-Tailed lemur, a species, that has not been described before.
