Reliability of seizure semiology in patients with 2 seizure foci.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether seizure semiology is reliable in localizing and distinguishing seizures at 2 independent brain foci in the same patient. DESIGN Two masked reviewers localized seizures from 2 foci by their clinical semiology and intracranial electroencephalograms (EEGs). SETTING Epilepsy monitoring unit of referral comprehensive epilepsy program. PATIENTS Seventeen consecuti...
متن کاملSeizure semiology: value in identifying seizure origin.
The diagnosis of epilepsy depends upon a number of factors, particularly detailed and accurate seizure history, or semiology. Other diagnostic data, consisting of electroencephalography, video-monitoring of the seizures, and magnetic resonance imaging, are important in any comprehensive epilepsy program, particularly with respect to lateralizing and localizing the seizure focus, if such a focus...
متن کاملValue and limitations of seizure semiology in localizing seizure onset.
Seizure semiology has been the foundation of clinical diagnosis of seizure disorders. This article discusses the value and the limitations of behavioral features of seizure episodes in localizing seizure onset. Studies have shown that some semiologic features of seizures are highly accurate in the hemispheric lateralization and lobar localization of seizures. There is good agreement between bli...
متن کاملSeizure semiology and neuroimaging findings in patients with midline spikes.
PURPOSE Midline epileptiform discharges are rare compared with discharges at other scalp locations. Neuroimaging results and semiologic seizure characteristics of patients with midline spikes are not adequately described. The aim of this study was to describe the neuroimaging findings and detailed seizure semiologies in patients with midline spikes. METHODS We reviewed the EEG database of the...
متن کاملEffect of interseizure interval on seizure lateralization in patients with bilateral seizure foci
We investigated whether there is a cluster effect depending on localization of seizure foci in patients with bilateral seizure foci. We evaluated 171 seizure pairs from 193 seizures recorded in 28 patients. Seizure lateralization was determined by the lateralization of ictal discharges; if the ictal EEG pattern was not lateralized, lateralization was determined by clinical seizure semiology. Th...
