Teaching NeuroImages: A spiritual visual hallucination from a right parieto-occipital seizure

An 11-year-old, right-handed girl was admitted for video-EEG monitoring of nocturnal paroxysms consisting of eye opening, groans, right arm shaking, and altered consciousness (see video on the Neurology Web site at www.neurology.org). Ictal video-EEG suggested a left frontal seizure; subsequent behavioral disturbances including dysrhythmic right arm shaking and confusion continued without elect...

Hallucination in a Seizure Patient Using Levetiracetam: A Case Report

Levetiracetam, a relatively new antiepileptic drug (AED), is used mainly as adjuvant and less as monotherapy of seizure. Though rare, Levetiracetam is reported to induce hallucination.

A 32-year lady had 7-year history of unresponsive spells which increased in the ...

Teaching NeuroImages: mesial temporal sclerosis after a prolonged unprovoked seizure in an infant.

At age 15 months, this previously healthy girl presented with an unprovoked seizure with right-sided clonic movements and facial twitching for 8 minutes. Serial MRIs revealed evolution from diffusion-weighted changes suggestive of edema to left hippocampal hyperintensity on T2 images and subsequently atrophy suggestive of mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS)1 (figures 1 and 2). After seizure freedom...
