    Author: Kuscu DY, Kayrak N, Karasu A, Gul G, Kirbas D.
    Journal: Epileptic Disord; 2008 Jun; 10(2):173-6. PubMed ID: 18539572.
    Abstract:
    Simple ictal or interictal automatisms are commonly seen in epilepsy, whereas complex automatisms are rare. Simple ictal vocalizations or appendicular automatisms have been reported to be due to mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. However, seizure-associated singing and dancing is very rare. We report a seventeen-year-old patient with ictal singing and rhythmic swinging of the arms as a dancing gesture. The video-EEG recording showed ictal left temporal lateralization and neuropathology confirmed left mesial temporal sclerosis.
