“…The included age groups were under 18 years old. We found 30 pediatric patients described with epileptic nystagmus (1‐2 [patients 1‐2‐3‐4‐5‐6], 3‐4 [patients 1‐2‐3‐4], 5‐9 [patients 1‐2‐3], and 17 [patients 1‐2]) 11–17 . From these series, we excluded those with other types of seizures (4 [patient 4], 12‐13) and those with inborn or acquired brain injury and/or with a pathologic neuroradiological exam (1‐2 [patients 1‐2‐3‐4‐5‐6], 4 [patient 1], 7, 13‐14, 17 [patients 1‐2‐3], 17 [patients 1‐2]).…”

Epileptic nystagmus (EN) is an uncommon ictal clinical manifestation characterized by rapid, repetitive eyeballs movements. Few cases of EN have been reported and, in most cases, electro‐clinical correlation showed a focal EEG activity, mainly in the occipital and temporo‐occipital areas. Although EN occurs both in idiopathic and non‐idiopathic epilepsy, the most frequent cause appears to be inborn or acquired alteration of brain structures. We report of a 12‐year‐old girl with EN as ictal manifestation of self‐limited focal seizures. We described clinical manifestations, electroencephalographic features, treatment, and follow‐up, presenting the ictal video‐EEG phenomenon. Alongside, we reviewed the reported clinical features of the few pediatric cases (seven patients) with idiopathic epileptic nystagmus through a systematic literature review. Isolated Epileptic Nystagmus (IEN) is much rarer than EN, as it is more frequently associated with other types of seizures, and can be idiopathic, especially in children. Epilepsy prognosis is usually favorable with appropriate treatment, and ASM discontinuation seems to be successful after few years of treatment.

“…Head turning can be observed as a transient phenomenon in several forms of status epilepticus (SE). A few reports describe oculoclonic SE (Gastaut and Roger 1954, Kanazawa et al 1989). Ongoing nystagmus or gaze deviation was reported with periodic, lateralized epileptiform discharges (PLEDs) on the EEG (Kaplan 2005, Young et al 1977).…”

Head turning as a prominent motor symptom in status epilepticus

Head and eye turning is frequently observed during seizures. Versions with tonic and/or clonic symptoms can be differentiated from smooth head deviations. Head turning as a prominent symptom of status epilepticus has not previously been reported. We present eight case reports, (7 women/1 man, mean age 41 years, median 41.5, range 10 to 74), of status epilepticus (SE), with head turning as a prominent motor symptom. Six were accompanied by continuous frontal, occipital and temporal ictal epileptiform discharges. Furthermore, two patients had absence status with rhythmic and clonic head versions. While the localizing significance of head turnings in SE is low, in our cases, the direction was away from the discharging hemisphere in all cases of focal SE regardless of whether the turning was classified as version (three cases) or deviation (three cases). In this small series of SE, the classical observation of a patient looking away from the discharging hemisphere is still valid.
