[Somatosensory epileptic crises].

E Gerstle de Pasquet, M Floriani

    Acta Neurologica Latinoamericana
    |January 1, 1980

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A study found that 50% of somatosensory seizures stem from surgically treatable causes, particularly tumors. Early radiological evaluation is crucial for diagnosing these epilepsy cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Epileptology

    Context:

    • Retrospective analysis of 20 patients with somatosensory seizures.
    • Data sourced from 1000 patient histories at the Neurological Institute of Montevideo.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze clinical variables and etiological factors in somatosensory seizures.
    • To compare tumor etiology in somatosensory versus other partial seizures.

    Summary:

    • 50% of somatosensory seizures had surgically treatable causes, with tumors accounting for 35%.
    • Tumors were found to be the most common etiology for somatosensory seizures compared to other partial seizure types.
    • Radiological studies, including Computerized Tomography and angiography for suspected arteriovenous malformations, are recommended for unclear cases.

    Impact:
