Supplementary motor area seizures presenting as stumbling episodes
A healthy young boy presented with brief stumbling episodes of recent onset. Evaluation with prolonged EEG-video monitoring led to the diagnosis of supplementary motor area epilepsy. Focal seizures arising from the medial fronto-parietal cortex may present unusual diagnostic pitfalls in their clinical semeiology as well as their EEG characteristics.
متن کاملSeizures presenting as apnoea.
Between the ages of 3 and 6 months a baby boy presented with repeated, non-specific episodes of cyanosis, apnoea, bradycardia, and abnormal movements of the limbs. The episodes were severe and required resuscitation and several admissions to hospital. Initial investigations showed only signs of oesophagitis. Despite treatment of the oesophagitis the symptoms recurred, and electroencephalography...
متن کاملStartle-induced seizures associated with infantile hemiplegia: implication of the supplementary motor area.
This case illustrates an uncommon form of symptomatic startle-induced epilepsy associated with infantile hemiplegia. Seizure semiology, neuroimaging and neurophysiological findings support involvement of the supplementary motor area in the generation of this seizure type. We present the case of an 11-year-old girl with an uncommon form of startle-induced seizures, illustrated on video-EEG, agai...
متن کاملIctal near-infrared spectroscopy and electrocorticography study of supplementary motor area seizures.
The seizure onset zone (SOZ) and propagation pathways in supplementary motor area (SMA) seizures are difficult to identify because of the short duration and swift propagations of this seizure type. Herein, we studied ictal cerebral blood flow changes, seizure electrical activities, and clinical signs employing simultaneous near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and electrocorticography (ECoG) record...
متن کاملSurgical treatment of supplementary motor area lesions.
Different portions of the SMA appear to be engaged by different types of neurological functions. It is important to identify the functional activation of SMA in terms of planning the surgical strategy. Our unpublished data from M.D. Anderson suggest that resection of the site of SMA activation based on fMRI is an important parameter for predicting the postoperative neurological deficit. Also, p...
