The Clinical Differentiation of Seizures Arising in the Parasagittal and Anterolaterodorsal Frontal Convexities

Patients with Temporoparietal Ictal Symptoms and Inferomesial EEG Do Not Benefit from Anterior Temporal Resection

“…Positive somatosensory auras in our patients are primarily suggestive of an epileptogenic zone in one parietal lobe (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). Such a warning also was reported in frontal (20), occipital (21), and insular seizures (22,23). None of our patients had electrographic and clinical evidence of occipital lobe seizures, and only one (patient 3) had electrographic evidence of early frontal lobe seizure-discharge propagation in 27% of his seizures with diffuse electrographic onset (see Table 2).…”

An analysis of clinical seizure patterns and their localizing value in frontal and temporal lobe epilepsies

“…Two seizure types with prominent, early motor manifestations appeared to be especially associated with frontal lobe abnormalities on investigation. Seizures characterized by version and posturing are generally thought to be associated with the frontal lobes (Penfield and Jasper, 1954;Fegerstein and Roger, 1961;Cotte-Rittaud and Courjon, 1962;Geier et al, 1977;Williamson et al, 1985;Delgado-Escuetaera/., 1987;Waterman etal., 1987;Quesney et al, 1990) and our findings strongly support this, in relation to interictal EEG, ictal EEG and neuroimaging in both analyses. This association only occurred, however, if the posture was early in the seizure, according with previous observations (Cotte-Rittaud and Courjon, 1962).…”

Frontal Lobe Seizures: Electroclinical Syndromes

“…Many of our patients with supplementary motor seizures reported tingling and other somatosensory auras much like those described by Penfield and Welch (1951), Ajmone-Marsan and Ralston (1957), Van Buren and Fedio (1976), Morris et al (1988), and Quesney et al (1990).…”
