Unilateral abdominal clonic jerking as an epileptic phenomenon
Unilateral abdominal wall clonic seizures are a rare manifestation of epilepsy. We report three cases of focal aware seizures manifesting as unilateral abdominal clonic motor movements. Standard EEG for patients with focal motor abdominal seizures is often unrevealing, which can make the diagnosis d...

description | Unilateral abdominal wall clonic seizures are a rare manifestation of epilepsy. We report three cases of focal aware seizures manifesting as unilateral abdominal clonic motor movements. Standard EEG for patients with focal motor abdominal seizures is often unrevealing, which can make the diagnosis difficult. We report the first case of intracranial EEG in the diagnosis of a patients with this type of semiology during a focal seizure. In the absence of an electroclinical seizure verified by video-EEG monitoring, caution should be made with the diagnosis. A careful history should be obtained to help differentiate between unilateral abdominal clonic jerking and other abdominal complaints. |
