Reflex occipital lobe epilepsy
Photosensitivity is a typical feature of photosensitive epilepsy which is usually considered a form of idiopathic generalized epilepsy. Partial seizures featuring visual symptoms are rarely reported in photosensitive epilepsy. In this study, we describe 13 neurologically normal patients in whom daytime seizures were always induced by television and began with elementary visual hallucinations, f...
متن کاملSurgical treatment of occipital lobe epilepsy.
OBJECT Occipital lobe epilepsy (OLE) accounts for a small percentage of extratemporal epilepsies and only few and mostly small patient series have been reported. Preoperative findings, surgical strategies, histopathological bases, and postoperative outcomes for OLE remain to be elucidated. METHODS A group of 54 patients with occipital lobe involvement were identified from a prospective epilep...
متن کاملA comparison of post-ictal headache between patients with occipital lobe epilepsy and temporal lobe epilepsy
We investigated post-ictal headaches (PIH) using a questionnaire to ascertain their characteristics and compare them among different types of epilepsy. The subjects consisted of 34 patients with occipital lobe epilepsy (OLE) and 75 patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). PIH occurred in 62% of OLE and 23% of TLE (P < 0.05). The quality of pain in PIH was 'steady' in 71% of OLE and 29% of TL...
متن کاملMirror Focus in a Patient with Intractable Occipital Lobe Epilepsy
Mirror focus is one of the evidence of progression in epilepsy, and also has practical points for curative resective epilepsy surgery. The mirror foci are related to the kindling phenomena that occur through interhemispheric callosal or commissural connections. A mirror focus means the secondary epileptogenic foci develop in the contralateral hemispheric homotopic area. Thus mirror foci are mos...
متن کاملMetabolic Changes in Occipital Lobe Epilepsy with Automatisms
PURPOSE Some studies suggest that the pattern of glucose hypometabolism relates not only to the ictal-onset zone but also reflects seizure propagation. We investigated metabolic changes in patients with occipital lobe epilepsy (OLE) that may reflect propagation of ictal discharge during seizures with automatisms. METHODS Fifteen patients who had undergone epilepsy surgery for intractable OLE ...
