Ictus expectoratus: a sign of complex partial seizures usually of non-dominant temporal lobe origin
Spitting (or expectoration) is rarely seen with seizures. In Western society, spitting is a striking behavioral aberration. A 13-year-old child had intermittent agitated behavior, episodes of rage, spitting and confusion lasting up to 2 minutes. He stood up in church and told the preacher to 'shut up and sit down'. Epilepsy monitoring revealed spitting with polysharp and spike seizures resolved...
متن کاملHeart rate analysis differentiates dialeptic complex partial temporal lobe seizures from auras and non-epileptic seizures.
The distinction of non-epileptic from epileptic events is difficult even for experienced neurologists. We retrospectively evaluated 59 dialeptic events from 27 patients admitted for video EEG monitoring to check whether heart rate (HR) analysis could help in differentiating dialeptic complex partial temporal lobe seizures (TLS) from dialeptic simple partial TLS, and non-epileptic dialeptic even...
متن کاملLateralisation value of lower limb behaviors in complex partial seizures of temporal lobe origin: a video-EEG analysis
PURPOSE To determine the lateralising value of leg behaviors in complex partial seizures (CPS) of temporal lobe onset. METHODS Videotapes of 123 seizures from 38 patients who were seizure-free after temporal lobectomy were reviewed. Ictal behaviors including head turning, limb automatisms, tonic/dystonic postures and the latent time for ictal behavior were analysed for their lateralising valu...
متن کاملClinical characteristics of complex partial seizures: a temporal versus a frontal lobe onset
The site of origin of complex partial seizures (CPS) is predominantly in the temporal lobe, but frontal, parietal, and occipital lobes may also be involved. In order to correlate clinical behaviours with either a temporal or frontal site of origin, we analysed 211 seizures occurring during invasive monitoring in 26 patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and in eight patients with frontal lo...
متن کاملSimple partial seizures (isolated auras) in medial temporal lobe epilepsy
We analysed whether the medial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) with isolated auras makes any difference in the clinical picture in comparison with MTLE in which only complex partial seizures (CPS) occur. We included 100 patients (aged 16-59 years) with unilateral medial temporal lobe lesions who consecutively underwent presurgical evaluation due to intractable MTLE and who became completely aura-...
