  • Title: [Gyratory epileptic seizures. Radioclinical correlations].
    Author: Giroud M, Fayolle H, André N, Lemesle M, Creisson E, Soichot P, Dumas R.
    Journal: Rev Neurol (Paris); 1994; 150(6-7):460-3. PubMed ID: 7747014.
    Abstract:
    The authors report 3 cases of gyratory seizures whose epileptic nature was demonstrated on the following features. They appeared with a loss of consciousness. In 2 cases, they ended with a tonic-clonic generalized fit and in the 3 cases, they were mixed with other generalized seizures. From an etiological point of view, in 2 cases, a deep lesion was discovered, the first one near the paracentral lobule, the second in the para-thalamic area. The third one was an idiopathic generalized epilepsy on clinical and electroencephalographic grounds. These 3 cases focus on the difficulties to classify gyratory seizures that may appear in 2 opposite situations, namely in symptomatic partial epilepsy and in idiopathic generalized epilepsy.
