TI  - Can absence status epilepticus be of frontal lobe origin?
PG  - 472-7
AB  - Five women with an unclassifiable nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) 
      characterized by young age at onset, prolonged confusions, focal motor seizures, 
      and both generalized spike-and-wave discharges and focal epileptic discharges on 
      the EEG were studied with video-EEG monitoring. Electrographically, the NCSE 
      originated from the left frontal lobe in 4 patients, and the left hemisphere with 
      multifocal seizure discharges in 1 patient. Focal motor seizures seemed to 
      originate from the left hemisphere in all 5 patients, particularly from its 
      anterior part in 3 of them. Results show that the NCSE is complex partial status 
      epilepticus of frontal lobe origin electroclinically mimicking absence status 
      epilepticus once it reaches a full-blown phase.
