Abstract:
Changes in cerebral perfusion were studied during nine short-lasting simple partial motor seizures (SPS) in an 11-year-old girl. Blood flow velocity changes in both middle cerebral arteries (MCAs) were assessed by transcranial Doppler sonography during simultaneous EEG monitoring. Within 7.4 +/- 1.4 s after electroencephalographic seizure onset, flow velocity in the MCA ipsilateral to the electrical discharges started to increase and then gradually rose up to 70% above baseline values. Spread of the epileptic activity to the other hemisphere in the late stage of seizure was associated with a slight increase in blood flow velocity (<30%) in the contralateral MCA. After the end of the seizure, flow velocities returned to baseline within 47 +/- 7 s. Our findings indicate that focal epileptic seizures evoke asymmetric perfusion increases which are closely related to the onset and cessation of the electroencephalographic seizure activity.

Seizures: Classification
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
Ischemic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology
Hemorrhagic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology
Cerebral Edema ll: Pathophysiology
Seizures l: Introduction
Seizures ll: Types
