The frequency and electroclinical characteristics of epileptic auras according to the data of the clinic of the Institute of Pediatric Neurology and Epilepsy

Abstract

Epileptic aura (EA) is a short focal epileptic seizure accompanied by a patient's subjective feelings in the presence of preserved consciousness. The study covered 88 patients who were found to have different types of epileptic auras. It analyzed the clinical, electroencephalographic, and neuroimaging features of epileptic auras and their prevalence in patients with focal forms of epilepsy. A scenario is given for video-assisted electroencephalographic monitoring for suspected EA.
