For patients with epilepsy, one of the biggest problems is the unpredictability of the time when the next seizure will occur. Interestingly, some epileptic patients experience a sensory sensation preceding seizures, called aura, which helps them move to safety before a seizure. Here, we describe ...
the angle of the mouth is deviated to the same side and the head is hyperextended. When occurring immediately before GTCSs, the direction of version is contralateral to the hemisphere of seizure onset. In contrast to FLE, version in temporal lobe seizures occurs while consciousness is impaired ...
Is a visual aura a seizure? Auras are actually atype of seizurecalled focal aware seizures (FAS). When a FAS happens before another, more severe type of focal seizure, it's considered an aura. Auras can include many sensations, from sights, sounds, or smells to pain, numbness, or headac...
Neuronal dynamics and conscious experience: an example of reciprocal causation before epileptic seizures Neurophenomenology (Varela 1996) is not only philosophical but also empirical and experimental. Our purpose in this article is to illustrate concretely the... MLV Quyen,C Petitmengin - 《Phenomenolog...
Since the study period, two patients of the SSA/PLA cohort have undergone invasive reinvestigation for persistent disabling seizures (Table2). Both have obtained seizure-freedom following a third resection of the temporal lobe and anterior insular cortex, respectively. ...
Aurasas part of epilepticseizuresare defined as exclusively subjective symptoms without objective signs that can be documented by an observer. Auras usually occur at the beginning of aseizure(“warning symptoms”) for seconds up to minutes, although they may be seen in isolation as well. Usually ...
DEVELOPMENT: Epileptic aura is that portion of the seizure which occurs before consciousness is loss and for which memory is retained afterwards. In the case of simple partial seizures, the aura is the entire seizure. This epileptic phenomenon is the consequence of the activation of functional ...
Objective: We aimed to identify types and frequency of auras in patients with focal and generalized epilepsy.Background: The present-day knowledge of auras in persons with epilepsy (PWE) suggests a variety of experiences before seizure onset. A multitude of studies correlate them with focal ...
Seizure outcomePredictorsPurposeThe success of epilepsy surgery lies in identifying the ictal onset zone accurately. The significance of auras has little been explored on surgical outcome in drug-resistant epilepsy. This study focuses on the clinicopathological correlation of aura(s) and its role in ...
