Ictal EEG in Benign Partial Epilepsy in Infancy

摘要: The aim of this study is to further clarify ictal electroencephalographic findings patients with benign partial epilepsy in infancy order better understand its neurophysiologic features. group consisted 13 infants definite infancy, whom electroencephalograms were recorded and benignity was confirmed at 8 years or more. seizure manifestation reviewed on the basis video eight simultaneous video-electroencephalography recording available. In other five patients, manifestations determined according observations physicians, nurses, technicians. Thirteen seizures from complex partial, six secondarily generalized ones. Ictal discharges onset a focal all seizures. site origin temporal area 10 seizures, whereas it parietal occipital 6 Among paroxysmal remained throughout they spread one hemisphere 7 Motion arrest decreased responsiveness uniformly observed. Lateral eye deviation commonly recognized head rotation observed only which hemispheric propagation relatively uniform, suggesting homogeneity infancy.
