TI  - Epileptic nystagmus in a patient with nonconvulsive status epilepticus.
PG  - 183-6
AB  - Epileptic nystagmus (EN) is a rare form of rhythmic eye oscillations occurring 
      during seizure activity. Not only convulsive states, but also nonconvulsive 
      status may represent with EN and this phenomenon may be the only motor 
      manifestation of seizure activity. Epileptic activation of a cortical saccade 
      region may be distinguished from activation of a cortical pursuit region 
      clinically as activation of pursuit regions results in nystagmus slow phases that 
      bring the eyes across the midline. Horizontal EN results most commonly from 
      seizure activity involving the occipital cortex. In this report, horizontal EN in 
      a patient with nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is described with 
      clinical, radiological and electrophysiological findings that occur probably due 
      to posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome.
