The clinical usefulness of ictal surface EEG in neocortical epilepsy.
PURPOSE Localizable scalp EEGs, during ictal episodes, appear to be rare in neocortical epileptic syndromes. However, studies based on large numbers of patients are also rare. This study aims to identify the characteristic patterns of variable neocortical epilepsies and to evaluate their clinical usefulness in the localization of epileptogenic focuses. METHODS We retrospectively assessed 394 ...
متن کاملGelastic seizures involving the right parietal lobe.
Gelastic seizures have been described in various epilepsies arising from the temporal or frontal lobes, although the most commonly encountered form is related to the presence of an hypothalamic hamartoma. We report a patient with gelastic seizures involving the right parietal lobe. Our patient, a 32-year-old man, underwent video-EEG monitoring, interictal and ictal brain SPECTs during gelastic ...
متن کاملParietal lobe epilepsy: the great imitator among focal epilepsies.
AIM Comprising large areas of association cortex, the parietal lobe is part of an extensive synaptic network elaborately intertwined with other brain regions. We hypothesize that such widespread projections are responsible for producing inaccurate localisation readings on scalp EEG and clinical semiology in patients with parietal lobe epilepsies, as opposed to frontal or temporal lobe epilepsie...

Surgical treatment of cryptogenic neocortical epilepsy is challenging. The aim of this study was to evaluate surgical outcomes and to identify possible prognostic factors including the results of various diagnostic tools. Eighty-nine patients with neocortical epilepsy with normal magnetic resonance imaging (35 patients with frontal lobe epilepsy, 31 with neocortical temporal lobe epilepsy, 11 w...
متن کاملIctal pleasant sensations: cerebral localization and lateralization.
Ictal pleasant feelings are a rare sign of focal epilepsies. The most popular description was performed by Dostojevskij, who reported an aura by Myshken in one of his books. No convincing evidence has been published concerning the cerebral localization of ictal happiness. In this study, the findings of 11 patients with ictal pleasant feelings are described. In eight patients, the origin of the ...
