Interictal language functions in temporal lobe epilepsy.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate interictal language functions in patients with medically intractable left and right sided mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). METHODS Spontaneous speech, language comprehension, confrontation naming, repetition, reading, writing, and word fluency were examined in 12 patients with left sided TLE and 11 patients with right sided TLE. RESULTS Four patients out of 23 disp...
متن کاملThe relative localizing value of interictal and immediate postictal SPECT in seizures of temporal lobe origin.
UNLABELLED Although interictal hypoperfusion and ictal hyperperfusion are established localizing findings in partial epilepsy, their relative value is disputed. After a meta analysis of several published articles on SPECT brain imaging in patients with epilepsy (with extractable data on at least 6 patients per article), institutions using SPECT for evaluation of epilepsy have been encouraged to...
متن کاملPostictal switch in blood flow distribution and temporal lobe seizures.
The ictal increase of regional cerebral blood flow has yet to be fully utilised in the investigation of focal seizures. Although single photon emission tomography (SPECT) is being increasingly used in the localisation of epileptic foci, the evolution and time courses of the peri-ictal perfusion changes have yet to be clarified. We performed serial SPECT studies in the interictal, ictal and imme...
متن کاملIctus expectoratus: a sign of complex partial seizures usually of non-dominant temporal lobe origin
Spitting (or expectoration) is rarely seen with seizures. In Western society, spitting is a striking behavioral aberration. A 13-year-old child had intermittent agitated behavior, episodes of rage, spitting and confusion lasting up to 2 minutes. He stood up in church and told the preacher to 'shut up and sit down'. Epilepsy monitoring revealed spitting with polysharp and spike seizures resolved...
متن کاملSpeech preservation during language-dominant, left temporal lobe seizures: report of a rare, potentially misleading finding.
PURPOSE To evaluate the prevalence and mechanism of ictal speech in patients with language-dominant, left temporal lobe seizures. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the video-EEG telemetry records for the presence of ictal speech in 96 patients with surgically proven left temporal lobe epilepsy and studied the seizure-propagation patterns in three patients who required intracranial EEG recor...
