  • Title: Subacute encephalopathy with seizures in alcoholism.
    Author: Mani J, Sitajayalakshmi S, Borgohain R, Mohandas S.
    Journal: Seizure; 2003 Mar; 12(2):126-9. PubMed ID: 12566238.
    Abstract:
    Generalised seizures are a common manifestation of acute alcohol intoxication. Alcohol is known to precipitate generalised seizures in patients with focal brain pathology. A rare case of secondarily generalised seizures precipitated by alcohol in a patient without an underlying focal brain lesion is reported. Electroencephalopgraphy (EEG) showed periodic lateralised epileptiform discharges (PLEDs) on the side contralateral to the focal motor fits.
