Ictal whistling: a rare automatism during temporal lobe seizures.
One of the most unusual ictal automatisms reported is whistling. Two patients, both males, are described who had prominent whistling as a component of their complex partial seizures. Both had temporal lobe epilepsy with resolution of seizures after a temporal lobectomy. Ictal whistling appears to localize to the temporal lobe but may not be useful for lateralization.
متن کاملIctal ECG changes in temporal lobe epilepsy.
Changes in cardiac rhythm may occur during epileptic seizures and this has been suggested as a possible mechanism for sudden unexpected death amongst patients with chronic epilepsy (SUDEP). We have studied ECG changes during 61 complex partial seizures of temporal lobe origin in 20 patients. Tachycardia was observed in 24/61 (39%) and bradycardia in 3/61 (5%). The mean and median tachycardia ra...
متن کاملIctal regional cerebral blood flow in frontal lobe seizures
99mTC (single photon emission computed tomography) (HMPAO SPECT) was carried out during 16 frontal-lobe seizures in 15 patients. Focal changes in regional cerebral blood flow were seen during all seizures. In 9 of 16 seizures SPECT showed hyperperfusion localized to one frontal lobe. In 1 of 16 seizures ictal hypoperfusion was seen in one frontal lobe. In 2 of 16 seizures there was hyperperfusi...
متن کاملIctal localization of temporal lobe seizures with scalp/sphenoidal recordings.
We assessed the reliability and accuracy of scalp/sphenodial recordings for ictal localization by retrospectively analyzing 706 noninvasive ictal recordings from 110 patients who subsequently underwent stereoencephalographic evaluation. Strictly defined unilateral temporal/sphenoidal ictal patterns correctly predicted findings of depth electrode examination in 82 to 94% of cases. These strictly...
متن کاملIctal dystonic posturing in mesial versus neocortical temporal lobe seizures
PURPOSE Ictal contralateral dystonic posturing is a frequently observed clinical feature in temporal lobe seizures. It is generally interpreted as the result of spread of the ictal discharge into basal ganglia structure. In previous reports, analysing ictal behavior, a precise definition and description of the upper limb ictal dystonia is often lacking or contradictory. In our study we aimed to...
