Abstract:
We report an 8-year-old girl with seizures induced by micturition. Her seizures were characterized by extension of upper extremities with preserved consciousness. Magnetic resonance imaging and interictal electroencephalograms were normal. Ictal electroencephalogram showed low voltage fast waves without clear focal features followed by frontal dominant rhythmic multiple spikes. Subtraction ictal single photon emission computed tomography revealed a significant increase in blood flow in the mesial frontal area.

Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...
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:
