Epileptic nystagmus due to a large parieto-temporo-occipital multilobar dysplasia

Epileptic Disord. 2020 Oct 1;22(5):691-692. doi: 10.1684/epd.2020.1214.

Abstract

We report a young female with medically refractory multiple daily seizures since childhood with semiology suggestive of an epileptic nystagmus. She had a large multilobar parieto-temporo-occipital dysplasia and became seizure-free after parieto-temporo-occipital disconnection with preserved visual functions.

Keywords: epileptic nystagmus; occuloclonia; parieto-temporo-occipital dysplasia.
