Abstract:
Two patients with simple partial epileptic seizures were able to abate their attacks by vigorous somatosensory stimulation of the body part initially involved by the seizure. In both patients, the seizure symptoms progressed in a marching fashion which suggests a gradual spread of the epileptic discharge from its initial locus to adjacent areas.
