ILAE 1989 Frontal lobe epilepsies Frontal lobe epilepsies are characterized by simple partial, complex partial, secondarily generalized seizures or combinations of these. Seizures often occur several times a day and frequently occur during sleep. Frontal lobe partial seizures are sometimes mistaken for psychogenic seizures. Status epilepticus is a frequent complication. General characteristics Features strongly suggestive of the diagnosis include: 1. Generally short seizures. 2. Complex partial seizures arising from the frontal lobe, often with minimal or no postictal confusion. 3. Rapid secondary generalization (more common in seizures of frontal than of temporal lobe epilepsy). 4. Prominent motor manifestations which are tonic or postural. 5. Complex gestural automatisms frequent at onset. 6. Frequent falling when the discharge is bilateral. A number of seizure types are described below; however, multiple frontal areas may be involved rapidly and specific seizure types may not be discernible. |
