Περίληψη:
We describe the case of a 70-year-old patient in whom hemiconvulsive
seizures occurred during metabolic derangement, multiple stroke and
post-anoxic coma following cardiac arrest.
We employed the methods of clinical and EEG evaluation and CT brain
scan.
We found that hemiconvulsive seizures were provoked following a light
tactile stimulus in the left-trigeminal area and occasionally a strong
tapping in the right-trigeminal area.
We conclude that this type of stimulus-provoked seizure is extremely
rare and could be explained by diffuse and severe brain damage. (C) 2001
