The seizures of frontal lobe epilepsy

A study of clinical manifestations

From Unité de recherches INSERM U97 et Service de Neuro-Chirurgie Fonctionnelle, Pans, France.

We describe ictal clinical manifestations of frontal lobe epileptic seizures in 22 patients. After examination of all ictal clinical data, 14 categories of signs and symptoms were established. The validity of the ictal clinical data used was confirmed on the basis of 99 frontal lobe seizures recorded by tele-electroencephalogram or tele-stereo-electroencephalogram. The main conclusion is that the frontal lobe appears to be partially connected with motor activity.
