    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Epileptic nystagmus, an eye movement disorder during seizures, is rare as the sole symptom. This study presents four cases where nystagmus was the primary or only sign of epileptic seizures, confirmed by EEG.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Clinical Neuroscience
    • Epileptology

    Background:

    • Epileptic nystagmus is an uncommon ictal phenomenon.
    • Nystagmus as the sole manifestation of epileptic seizures is particularly rare.

    Observation:

    • Four new cases of epileptic nystagmus were documented.
    • Nystagmus was the most prominent, and sometimes the only, clinical sign during seizures.
    • All cases were confirmed using ictal electroencephalography (EEG) and video/cine recording.

    Findings:

    • Ictal EEG revealed a parietal focus in three cases.
    • One case demonstrated generalized spike-wave activity during the seizure.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering epileptic seizures in cases of isolated nystagmus.
  • Suggests parietal lobe involvement in some cases of epileptic nystagmus.
  • Underscores the utility of ictal EEG and video recording for diagnosing rare seizure manifestations.
