The seizure semiology consistent with frontal lobe symptomatogenic zone in children

Frontal lobe epilepsy: seizure semiology and presurgical evaluation

Seizure semiology and electroencephalography in young children with lesional temporal lobe epilepsy

PURPOSE This study aimed to discuss the clinical features of seizure semiology and electroencephalography (EEG) in young children with lesional temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). METHOD Children with lesional TLE received presurgical evaluation for intractable epilepsy. They were followed up for more than one year after temporal lobectomy. We reviewed the medical history and video-EEG monitoring o...

Frontal lobe seizures: from clinical semiology to localization.

OBJECTIVE Frontal lobe seizures are difficult to characterize according to semiologic and electrical features. We wished to establish whether different semiologic subgroups can be identified and whether these relate to anatomic organization. METHODS We assessed all seizures from 54 patients with frontal lobe epilepsy that were explored with stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) during presurgic...

Seizure 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...

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...
