hallucinations/癲癇性発作

Hallucinations are commonly believed to reflect temporal lobe dysfunction. This report presents the clinical, electroencephalographic, and neuroimaging findings in an 8-year-old male who experienced the acute onset of ictal auditory and visual hallucinations associated with epileptic activation of

We report a 74-year-old man with gelastic seizure, simple visual hallucination, and adversive seizure. The patient described his visual hallucinations as "rotating light like a firefly" and "mimicking a stream". Brain CT scan showed a transient swelling as well as low density of a left

Hallucinations are defined as sensory phenomena in the absence of external sensory stimuli. Auditory hallucinations have been shown to arise from many different intracranial lesions, but seizures manifesting as musical hallucinations triggered by unruptured intracranial aneurysms are rare. We

Objective: A relationship between seizure activity and hallucinations is well established. The psychopathologic significance of hallucinations in individuals with seizures, however, is unclear. In this study, we assessed the prevalence of

A patient with right hemisphere complex partial seizures exhibited extreme emotional lability resembling mania, neologisms resembling those found in fluent aphasia, and hallucinations during ictal periods. The electroencephalographic and clinical findings in this case suggest that cortical and

We present a puzzling case of a 25-year-old depressive man suffering from seizures and visual hallucinations during clomipramine treatment with a high dose but causing a low serum concentration. We examined alleles of cytochrome P450 (CYP) isozymes. It was revealed that he was not an ultrarapid

We report three patients with visual hallucinations as the initial manifestations of neurocysticercosis (NCC) in whom migraine was the first diagnosis. The correct diagnosis was suspected when electroencephalograms were abnormal and was confirmed by characteristic brain imaging. The visual

We report a case of simple partial seizure consisting of elementary visual hallucinations and complex visual hallucinations due to left temporo-occipital lesion. The patient was a 45-year-old right-handed female who has been suffering from paroxysmal visual hallucinations in her right visual field

In partial epilepsy, a localized hypersynchronous neuronal discharge evolving into a partial seizure affecting a particular cortical region or cerebral subsystem can give rise to subjective symptoms, which are perceived by the affected person only, that is, ictal hallucinations, illusions, or

Levetiracetam, a relatively new antiepileptic drug (AED), is used mainly as adjuvant and less as monotherapy of seizure. Though rare, Levetiracetam is reported to induce hallucination. To highlight the potential of this adverse drug event, we report a seizure-case that had auditory hallucination

Of the 718 patients investigated for intractable epilepsy by stereoelectrocencephalographic (SEEG) exploration, 30 (4%) manifested gustatory hallucinations as part of their seizures. In 20 patients, it was possible to make some electrophysiological, clinical and anatomical correlates. Gustatory

A 6-year-old fit girl experienced convulsions 44 h after an otherwise uneventful anaesthesia with propofol, alfentanil and nitrous oxide. As an underlying pathology was suspected, the child was kept sedated for 6.5 h for further investigations. During this period she received a continuous infusion

A case of pharmacoresistant convulsions after selegiline overdose is reported. A 50-year-old male having been suffering from bipolar II disorder for 16 years attempted suicide by taking an overdose of 195 mg selegiline with other psychotropics. He developed recurrent pharmacoresistant seizure from

BACKGROUND We describe the presentation of a young woman with long-standing complex partial seizures with occasional secondary generalization, who presented with complex visual hallucinations (CVHs) and delusions. METHODS Routine biological workup including magnetic resonance imaging revealed an

Multiple sclerosis, is an idiopathic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. Symptoms rarely begin before age 10 or after age 60.The presentation may vary from isolated motor or sensory impairment to seizures or psychotic disturbances. This case report presents a 7-year-old male who
