متن کاملClinical use of ictal SPECT in secondarily generalized tonic-clonic seizures.

These regional cerebral blood flow increases can be detected by single photon emission computed tomography (ictal SPECT), providing a useful clinical tool for seizure localization. However, when partial seizures secondarily generalize, there are often questions of interpretation since propagation of seizures ...
