Surgery for frontal lobe epilepsy
Frontal lobe epilepsy makes up between 20 and 30% of all partial epilepsies and is the biggest subgroup of the extratemporal lobe epilepsies. Of the patients who undergo surgery for epilepsy up to 18% have a frontal lobe focus. The aetiology of frontal lobe epilepsy is varied, clinical semiology is diverse and seizures are often frequent, disabling and refractory to treatment. Imaging and EEG f...

Frontal lobe epilepsy accounts for only 10-20% of the patients in surgical series, but the incidence in non-surgical patient cohorts seems to be much higher. The typical clinical presentation of the seizures includes contralateral clonic movements, uni- or bilateral tonic motor activity as well as complex automatism. The yield of surface EEG may be limited due to the difficulty in detection of ...
متن کاملFrontal lobe epilepsy.
About one-quarter of patients with refractory focal epilepsies have frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE). The typical seizure semiology for FLE includes unilateral clonic, tonic asymmetric or hypermotor seizures. Interictal electroencephalograms (EEG) usually reveal interictal epileptiform discharges and rhythmical midline theta, which has localizing value. The usefulness of ictal EEG recordings is limi...
متن کاملNocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy
The paroxysmal motor events during sleep are certainly common.The systematic use of nocturnal video-polysomnography has largely improved the diagnostic yield in patients with clusters of nocturnal motor events. Two broad nosological categories have been identified: parasomnias (sleep terror and sleep-walking), which are thought to represent disorders of arousal during sleep,and the epileptic se...
