“…In agreement with other reports (Robillard et al, 1983; Ochs et al, 1984), the localizing value of forced head and eye deviation is doubtful. Nevertheless, these manifestations are partial seizure-related phenomena and are rarely observed in EEG-proven generalized onset seizures (Aicardi, 1986, Lesser et al, 1987.…”

Twenty-three patients with onset of partial seizures (PS) during the first 2 years of life were collected in a single neuropediatric center and ictal events were analyzed. All patients initially had normal developmental and neurologic examinations, negative etiologic investigations, and at least two nonfebrile PS of a single type. Mean follow-up from first seizure to the last contact with the patient was 51 months (SEM 8.17 months). Ictal semiology was characterized by three types of seizures: simple PS with motor signs, complex partial seizures (CPS) with impairment of consciousness at onset followed by motor manifestations, and CPS with motor activity at onset. Versive phenomena, oroalimentary automatisms, and vegetative manifestations were frequently associated. The topography of the ictal discharges and the elementary ictal events, suggested involvement of the temporal lobe and somatomotor area. The diagnosis of PS can be difficult during the first year of life since some patients beginning with generalized seizures may evolve into partial seizures. The prognosis is guarded with regard to seizure persistence, but the neurologic outcome is better as a whole than is reported for infancy-onset epilepsies.

“…The diagnosis of ictal enuresis is very difficult to be made as there has been a very limited scientific literature describing true simple ictal enuresis except few reports. [ 26 27 28 29 ] Penfield and Kristiansen in 1951 were the first to describe the phenomenon of ictal enuresis as a sole manifestation in simple seizures. [ 26 ] Micturition is a highly complex process involving coordination of central and peripheral nervous system through multiple centers.…”

Psychiatric presentation of childhood epilepsy: Case series and review

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Childhood-onset epilepsy has a varied presentation and may have different etiological factors. A multiaxial diagnostic approach should be used before making treatment and management decisions for any individual patient. It is widely accepted that distinction among primary psychiatric disorders, epilepsy, and nonepileptic seizures is a challenge for physicians. This case series demonstrated the identification of three atypical presentations of seizures in children on the basis of detailed history taking and electroencephalogram findings, despite having normal findings in neurological examination and magnetic resonance imaging. We report three rare cases of atypical presentation in epilepsy in patients with symptoms of episodic hallucinations, rage attacks, and secondary enuresis. Clinically, the diagnosis of epilepsy can be strengthened by paying sufficient attention to detailed history and symptom spectrum of partial epilepsy.
