Exercise-induced temporal lobe epilepsy
JW Sturm, M Fedi, SF Berkovic, DC Reutens - Neurology, 2002 - AAN Enterprises
Although precipitation of seizures by exercise has been described, the reproducible
induction of temporal lobe seizures by exercise is unusual. The authors report two patients
with left temporal lobe seizures induced by exercise. In one patient the family history
suggested autosomal-dominant inheritance. Prolonged hyperventilation, simple movements,
and visualization of a competitive game did not produce epileptiform discharges on the
interictal EEG.
