Seizure Semiology: Its Value and Limitations in Localizing the Epileptogenic Zone
Epilepsy surgery has become an important treatment option in patients with medically refractory epilepsy. The ability to precisely localize the epileptogenic zone is crucial for surgical success. The tools available for localization of the epileptogenic zone are limited. Seizure semiology is a simple and cost effective tool that allows localization of the symptomatogenic zone which either overl...
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: 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 کاملThe value of seizure semiology in lateralizing and localizing partially originating seizures.
Diagnosing epilepsy depends heavily on a detailed, and accurate description of the abnormal transient neurological manifestations. Observing the seizures yields important semiologic features that characterize epilepsy. Video-EEG monitoring allows the identification of important lateralizing (left versus right), and localizing (involved brain region) semiologic features. This information is vita...
متن کاملReliability 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...
