Frontal lobe epilepsy: Clinical characteristics, surgical outcomes and diagnostic modalities
OBJECTIVE To identify surgical prognostic factors and to characterize clinical features according to the location of the intracranial ictal onset zone of frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE) in order to assess the role of various diagnostic modalities, including concordances with presurgical evaluations. METHODS We studied 71 FLE patients who underwent epilepsy surgery and whose outcomes were followed...
متن کاملPossible transcallosal seizure induction by paired pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation in a patient with frontal lobe epilepsy.
Case report We report an 18 year old patient with right frontal lobe epilepsy due to paramedian focal cortical dysplasia (FCD). The patient’s usual seizure semiology consisted of a somatosensory aura of the left hand followed by a tonic seizure of the left arm which evolved to a bilateral asymmetrical tonic seizure without loss of consciousness. In the two years preceding the study (see below) ...
متن کاملSurgery 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...
متن کاملGenital and sexual manifestations in drug-resistant partial epilepsy
Genital and sexual manifestations represent rare clinical phenomena during or after focal seizures. The semiology of these types of automatisms is controversial. In particular, it is unclear whether temporal or frontal structures are involved in their generation and whether these clinical manifestations have a potential lateralizing value. In this view, from a population of 212 consecutive pati...
متن کاملFrontal 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...
