Hypoperfusion of an Entire Cerebral Hemisphere – Stroke or Postictal Deficit?
The clinical differential diagnosis between ischemic stroke and postictal deficit is sometimes challenging. If the clinical presentation is inconclusive, perfusion imaging can help to identify stroke patients for thrombolysis therapy. However, also epileptic phenomena may alter cerebral perfusion. Hypoperfusion spreading beyond the borders of cerebrovascular territories is usually considered su...
متن کاملPostictal mixed transcortical aphasia
Postictal aphasia has been described in left temporal lobe seizures. It may be of fluent, non-fluent or global type. We present here a patient who displayed signs of mixed transcortical aphasia (MTCA). The patient was a 67 year old man who underwent excision of a left frontal parasagittal meningioma in 1987. Since then he has been treated with phenytoin for generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GT...
متن کاملThe effect of age and structural lesions on postictal language impairment
The duration of postictal language dysfunction following a temporal lobe complex partial seizure (TLCPS) is longer when the seizure originates in the dominant hemisphere. However, the effects of older age and the presence of a structural lesion ipsilateral to the area of origin of the seizure remain unknown. Postictal language delay (PILD) was analyzed in relation to age and presence of a struc...
متن کاملCardiovascular dysautonomia after seizures induced by maximal electroshock in Wistar rats
BACKGROUND Cardiac dysfunction is one of the possible causes of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Therefore, it was the objective of this study to evaluate the cardiac and electrocardiographic parameters after seizures induced by maximal electroshock (MES) in Wistar rats. METHODS Electroshock seizures were induced in Wistar rats through a pair of ear-clip electrodes (10 mA at a fre...
متن کاملPostictal behaviour in temporal lobe epilepsy.
Postictal phenomena such as nose-wiping, coughing and hypersalivation are believed to reflect a purposeful reaction to hypersecretion after regaining consciousness following a complex partial seizure, and are very common in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, particularly in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. Nose-wiping is usually performed with the hand ipsilateral to the side of seizure onset....
