“…His concept allowed him to preserve the term “genuine epilepsy,” taken over from Gowers, even for patients diagnosed with hypoxic ischemic brain lesions. Spielmeyer (1925), whose focus was neuropathologic research on ischemia, and later his student Scholz (Scholz, 1951; Hager, 1956), Scholz and Hager (1956) provided evidence that strengthened the case for seizures being the cause of ischemic hypoxic lesions (Scholz, 1951). Spielmeyer (1927, 1928) saw analogies between the distribution pattern of the lesions in epilepsy patients and the distribution patterns of global ischemia.…”
