A Case of Temporal Onset Partial Seizure Induced by Photic Stimuli
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are only a few case reports of photic stimulation induced partial seizures arising from the temporal lobe. A 12-year-old female with a history of three convulsions was admitted for a diagnostic evaluation. During continuous video-electroencephalogram monitoring, a complex partial seizure with secondary generalization was induced immediately after a photoparoxysmal response with a 15-Hz photic stimulation. This is a rare case of photosensitive temporal lobe seizure.

Occipital seizures induced by Intermittent Photic Stimulation in Dravet syndrome
PURPOSE Dravet syndrome (DS) is a rare disorder with seizure onset in the first year of life, typically beginning with prolonged febrile hemiclonic seizures or generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Photosensitivity is reported in more than 40% of patients. We present two cases of DS in which we had the chance to record occipital seizures induced by Intermittent Photic Stimulation (IPS). METHOD W...
متن کاملEffect of intracerebroventricular injection of olive leaf extract on PTZ-induced seizures in male rats
Introduction: Olive leaf contains anti-inflammatory and COX-2 inhibitor compounds. Considering the role of the COX enzyme in seizures, this research was performed to assess the effects of this extract in treatment of seizures induced by PTZ. Methods: In this research, male Wistar rats (200±20 g) were injected intra-cerebroventricularly with 1 μl saline or olive leaf extract (125 μg, 250 μg ...
متن کاملEffect of intracerebroventricular injection of COX-1 inhibitor (ketoprofen) on PTZ-induced seizures in male rat
Introduction: Ketoprofen is an NSAID and selective COX-1 inhibitor. In our previous study the role of flunixin meglumine, a nonselective COX inhibitor was studied on seizure and its anticonvulsant effects were confirmed. Therefore this research is performed to assess the role of a selective COX-1 inhibitor, ketoprofen in treatment of seizures induced by PTZ. Methods: In this research, male ...
متن کاملThe relationship between photosensitive temporal lobe epilepsy and eye closure activity
We describe a 16-year-old female patient affected by photo-induced temporal lobe epilepsy. During intermittent photic stimulation she showed a photoparoxysmal response in the EEG. This case was diagnosed from clinical symptoms, single photon emission computer tomography, and EEG data. The clinical symptoms were relieved by the administration of carbamazepine. As these photoparoxysmal responses ...
متن کاملReflex occipital lobe epilepsy
Photosensitivity is a typical feature of photosensitive epilepsy which is usually considered a form of idiopathic generalized epilepsy. Partial seizures featuring visual symptoms are rarely reported in photosensitive epilepsy. In this study, we describe 13 neurologically normal patients in whom daytime seizures were always induced by television and began with elementary visual hallucinations, f...
