摘要: Summary: Purpose: To evaluate the suspected epileptic origin in children with episodes masquerading as sleep terrors. Method: One such child was investigated scalp-derived long-term monitoring (LTM), inter and ictal single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scans, an invasive LTM, followed by surgical subpial slicing of focally discharging motor cortex. Results: The LTM SPECT scans did not localize epileptogenic focus. revealed focal onset discharge. After surgery, seizures have been 90% controlled. No deficits resulted from surgery. Conclusions: Although most nocturnal terrors (NTs) are parasomnias, a few their frequent that masquerade NTs origin. There several features to distinguish these common or other frontal lobe epilepsies.
