          Abstract

          O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar com que frequência a descrição das manifestações epilépticas observadas pelos pais ou responsáveis por crianças com epilepsia permitem a classificação clínica das crises epilépticas(CE). Foram selecionadas 112 crianças com CE recorrentes e espontâneas. O estudo foi dividido em duas partes. Na Parte I avaliamos a idade na primeira crise, modo de início, semiologia pré-ictal, ictal e pós-ictal. Na Parte II a classificação das CE: a) segundo padrão motor convulsivo, em convulsivas / não convulsivas; e b) segundo o esquema da Liga Internacional Contra Epilepsia ( ILAE, 1981). Os resultados significantes foram a descrição de auras epilépticas em 42,9%, sinais localizatórios em 36,6% e a descrição semiológica motora em 95,5%, neurovegetativa em 56,3%, psíquica em 32,1% e sensitivo-sensorial em 4,5%. Foram classificadas pela semiologia motora as CE convulsiva em 83% e não convulsiva em 17% . No esquema da ILAE obteve-se na amostra geral 12,5% de CE não classificadas, pela dicotomia foram classificadas as CE parciais em 59,9% e as generalizadas em 27,2 % . Um alto índice de aproveitamento das informações foi obtido com 87,5% de CE classificadas.Este resultado nos permite concluir ser possível classificar clinicamente e com segurança as crises epilépticas com base na descrição dos pais e ou responsáveis, utilizando-se protocolo padronizado.

          The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of seizures descriptions from parents and guardians of epileptic children which are useful for clinical classification of epileptic seizures. The data were obtained from 112 children using recurrent and spontaneous epileptic seizures as the selection criteria. The study was realized in two parts. In the part I the following aspects were studied: age of onset and the preictal, ictal and postictal symptoms. In the part II the specific kinds of seizures were classified by motor semiology, as convulsive and nonconvulsive, and by using the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE,1981) scheme. The results showed that 42.9% patients present epileptic auras and 36.6% present lateralizing signs. Concerning the semiologic events were motor in 95.5%, neurovegetative in 56.3%, psychic in 32.1%, and neurosensorials in 4.5%. Finally, the ILAE schema classified the seizures as partial in 59.9%, as generalized in 27.2%, and as not classified in 12.5%. All findings demonstrate a good level of clinical semiology information from parents and guardians that allow us to classify 87.5% of the seizures, and identify auras and lateralized signs. Theses results permit us to conclud that if a standard protocol is used, the descriptions from parents and guardian of epileptic children appears to be very reliable to clinical classification of epileptic seizure.

              Intractable seizures of frontal lobe origin: clinical characteristics, localizing signs, and results of surgery.

              We analyzed the clinical characteristics of seizures of frontal lobe (FL) origin with particular emphasis on establishing different categories and determining if these categories had any localizing or lateralizing value. In addition, results of surgery are reported. Seizure characteristics were established by historical review and electroencephalographic/videotape analysis of 449 seizures in 26 adult patients with refractory seizures of FL origin. No outstanding risk factor was identified for seizures of FL origin. Seizures were frequent (7.1 per week), brief (mean duration, 48.3 seconds), and had a nocturnal preponderance in 58% of the patients. Status epilepticus was reported in 54%, and generalized convulsions as a prominent seizure type were reported in 26% of patients. The most common reported aura was a nonspecific sensation, often localized to the head (35%). Early forced head and eye deviation was not a consistent lateralizing sign, whereas late head and eye deviation always occurred contralateral to the site of seizure origin. Early asymmetric tonic posturing occurred consistently contralateral to the side of seizure origin. Clinical seizure patterns did not consistently localize to specific regions of the frontal lobe, although there were some noticeable trends: focal clonic seizures were associated with seizure origin in the frontal convexity; tonic seizures were most often associated with origin in the supplementary motor area but also occurred with origin in other parts of the frontal lobe; seizures resembling typical temporal lobe seizures with oroalimentary automatisms were observed with seizure origin in the orbitofrontal region; and seizures with hyperactive, frenetic automatisms were not associated with any specific region within the frontal lobes. Eighty percent of patients had favorable seizure outcome after surgery (class I/II). Although certain clinical features are characteristic for seizures of frontal lobe origin and some have lateralizing value, they do not localize to specific areas within the FL. After careful presurgical evaluation, both lesional and nonlesional patients benefit from epilepsy surgery.
