PURPOSE: @entity1167 provoked by @entity302 is a rare but important complication in @entity302 and is supposed to be relevant to the pathogenesis of @entity944 ( @entity944 ). We sought to determine the frequency of this complication in a population of @entity1 with medically intractable @entity302 and to analyze the correlation between EEG, electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical features obtained from long-term video-EEG monitoring. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of the clinical records of hospitalized @entity1 from May 1992 to June 2001 who underwent long-term video-/EEG monitoring. RESULTS: Of a total of 1,244 @entity1 , five @entity1 had @entity1167 in the course of ictal events. In these @entity1 , 11 @entity1167 events, between 4 and 60 s long in a total of 19 @entity410 , were registered. All @entity410 had a focal origin with simple partial @entity410 (n = 13), complex partial @entity410 (n = 4), and secondarily generalized @entity410 (n = 2). One @entity1 showed the longest @entity1167 ever reported (60 s) because of a @entity410 . @entity1167 occurred in two @entity1 with left-sided @entity1315 ( @entity1315 ) and in three @entity1 with @entity4940 ( @entity4940 ; two left-sided, one bifrontal). Two @entity1 reported previous @entity299 , but only one had a pathologic ECG by the time of admission. Two @entity1 had a simultaneous central ictal @entity386 during the @entity1167 . None of the @entity1 had @entity51 due to the @entity1167 . CONCLUSIONS: These findings confirm that @entity410 -induced @entity1167 is a rare complication. The event appeared only in focal @entity302 (frontal and temporal) with a lateralization to the left side. A newly diagnosed or known @entity299 could be a risk factor for ictal @entity1167 . Abnormally long postictal periods with altered consciousness might point to reduced cerebral perfusion during the event because of ictal @entity1167 . Central ictal @entity386 could be a frequent associated phenomenon.
