  • Title: [Focal epileptic seizures ipsilateral to the tumor: case report].
    Author: Gusmão SS, Mendes MF, Silveira RL.
    Journal: Arq Neuropsiquiatr; 2002 Jun; 60(2-B):493-7. PubMed ID: 12131958.
    Abstract:
    Focal somatosensory epileptic seizures ipsilateral to a brain tumor is reported and the literature reviewed. It is an exceptional occurrence, having been described only six cases, with several mechanisms being proposed. The proximity of the lesions with the low cerebral convexity (perisylvian) suggests the compromising of the secondary somatosensorial area, seeming to prove the experimental observation of somatosensorial crises originating in this area.
