Other diagnostic data, consisting of electroencephalography (EEG), video-monitoring of the seizures, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are important in any comprehensive epilepsy program, particularly with respect to lateralizing and localizing the seizure focus, if such a focus exists, and with respect to determining the type of seizure or seizure syndrome. The aim of this review is to present a survey of important semiologic characteristics of various seizures that provide the historian with observations, which help to lateralize and localize epileptic zones. Clinical semiology is the starting point of understanding a seizure disorder and making the diagnosis of epilepsy. While it may not provide unequivocal evidence of localization of the epileptic focus, nevertheless it usually directs subsequent investigations, whose concordance is necessary for the ultimate localization.  ISSN : 8832-1012  Journal Name : Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences  Volume : 1  Issue Number : 35  Publishing Year : 2008 AH 2008 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Wednesday, March 10, 2010  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email محمد جان jan, Mohammed Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  25890.doc doc   Back To Researches Page
