Recognition of a transient, focal neurologic dysfunction after a seizure is important when evaluating patients with idiopathic epilepsy. Todd's palsy, a transient focal weakness after a seizure, is a highly accurate clinical sign indicative of a contralateral, cerebral epileptic focus. In contrast, a transient, lateralized hyperkinetic motor behavior from a contralateral, hemispheric ictal focu...

We report the case history of an adult who developed seizures with nearly pure visual symptoms due to an occipital vascular lesion. The seizures were characterized by elementary visual hallucinations in the right visual field. Interictally, a dense homonymous hemianopia was demonstrated in the clinical examination and by using perimetry, but was not recognized by the patient himself. The seizur...

متن کاملLateralized Behavior in Domesticated Dogs
ateralization, generally defined as the preferential use of one side of the body over another, is a result of certain processes being more highly developed in one hemisphere of the brain versus the other. Numerous scientific studies suggest that lateralization is most likely a defining feature in all mammals and perhaps all vertebrates. This study tested for lateralization in vertebrates by exa...
متن کاملPost-ictal psychosis after right temporal lobectomy.
Of 298 patients who had temporal lobectomies for intractable epilepsy, 4 (1.3%) developed post-ictal psychosis for the first time after surgery. All were males of normal intelligence with no pre-operative psychiatric disorder. Psychosis followed both complex partial and generalised seizures. The psychotic symptoms showed polymorphic features. Right temporal lobectomy may increase the susceptibi...
