Bihemispheric Seizure Without Generalization

The Neurohospitalist, 2023
A 70-year-old male without prior psychiatric history presented with recurrent episodes (<60 seconds each, every 5-10 minutes) of left hemibody and right lower extremity jerking movements concerning for seizure with preserved awareness (Video). Examination showed left hemiparesis (leg > arm) in addition to right lower extremity weakness.

The EEG in Selected Generalized Seizures

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2006
This article reviews the ictal and interictal EEG findings associated with a select group of generalized seizures. These include absence seizures, myoclonic seizures seen in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, idiopathic generalized tonic clonic seizures, infantile spasms, and atypical absence, tonic, and atonic seizures associated with the Lennox Gastaut ...

Generalized seizures and cocaine abuse

Neurology, 1984
Cocaine is a commonly abused drug. We report three patients who had generalized seizures immediately following intravenous injection of cocaine. Previous experimental and clinical literature have documented a relationship between cocaine and convulsions. The rising incidence of cocaine use may be associated with a rising incidence of cocaine-associated

Seizures of Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsies

Epilepsia, 2005
Summary:  Idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs) comprise at least 40% of epilepsies in the United States, 20% in Mexico, and 8% in Central America. Here, we review seizure phenotypes across IGE syndromes, their response to treatment and advances in molecular genetics that influence nosology. Our review included the Medline database from 1945 to 2005

Provocation of Nonepileptic Seizures by Suggestion in a General Seizure Population

Epilepsia, 1994
Summary: Nonepileptic seizures (NES) are common and are often diagnosed at epilepsy centers by video‐EEG recording of both spontaneous and suggestion‐induced episodes, but no study has evaluated provocative testing in a general seizure population. We studied consecutive patients with a tentative diagnosis of epilepsy using saline provocation during ...

A generalized seizure type: Myoclonic-to-tonic seizure

Clinical Neurophysiology
To test the hypothesis that myoclonic seizures can evolve to tonic seizures, we documented the electroclinical features of this under-recognized seizure type.We observed a distinct seizure pattern starting with myoclonus without returning to an interictal state, which subsequently evolved into generalized tonic seizures.

Generalized myoclonic seizures triggered by partial seizures

Journal of Epilepsy, 1993
We recorded clinical and EEG evidence of partial seizures triggering generalized myoclonic seizures in a 12-year-old boy with tuberous sclerosis. The patient never had myoclonic seizures independent of ongoing partial seizures. The International Classification of Epileptic Seizures implies that the electrophysiologic mechanisms for partial seizures are

Circadian distribution and sleep/wake patterns of generalized seizures in children

Epilepsia, 2011
PURPOSE: To evaluate the relationship of sleep/awake and circadian patterns to generalized seizures. METHODS: Charts of 1,044 consecutive pediatric epilepsy patients undergoing video-electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring (vEEG) over 5 years were ...

Generalized Tonic–Clonic Seizures

2013
Generalized tonic–clonic seizures (GTCs) have long been assumed to produce their dramatic clinical effects through a widely distributed and uniform dysfunction of the human cerebral cortex. However, evidence from a diversity of sources is mounting that GTCs actually exert their influence through discrete cortical and subcortical brain areas, while ...
