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 ...
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 ...
People with epilepsy who experience multiple auras, sensations such as a cold breeze or bright light before they have a seizure, may be good candidates for epilepsy surgery because their seizures seem to be coming from one area of the brain, according to a study published in the August 21, ...

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...
That is what I called them as a child. Auras are basically Simple Partials sz. I read once that an aura is due to the chemical changes that take place in the brain making conditions right for a seizure. Regardless if it is due to the chemical changes or due to more severe misfiring,...
epigastric (47.8%) or periumbilical area (45.7%) and mostly reached the chest (40.4%) or remained in the abdominal region (27.1%). An epigastric location of "rising air" favored a left-sided seizure onset, and non-epigastric areas favored right-sided seizure onset (p=0.018). Finally, we...
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 ...
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 ...
