Initial head-turning in a seizure has no localizing or lateralizing significance.

1 июл. 1984 г. · Initial head-turning in a seizure has no localizing or lateralizing significance.

Earlier in the seizures the direction of non-tonic head turning tends to be towards the epileptogenic hemisphere. In addition, dystonic posturing of the ...

Specific focal seizure features are useful in lateralizing the seizure onset or network to one hemisphere.

31 мая 2011 г. · To quantitatively evaluate the difference of ictal head turning movements between patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE).

Here, we summarise the current literature on localisation in focal epilepsies using illustrative cases and discussing possible pitfalls in localisation.

They described it as “head turning usually along with eyes and body in the same direction” and the turning movement was away from the hemisphere of seizure ...

Unilateral dystonic limb posturing and versive head movements had good lateralising value in complex partial seizures, suggestive of temporal lobe origin.

In studies with TLE patients, nonetheless, non-tonic head turning showed a 50% to 80% positive predictive value for lateralizing the seizure focus20, 22.

ABSTRACT – Head and eye turning is frequently observed during seizures. Versions with tonic and/or clonic symptoms can be differentiated from smooth.
