[ @entity302 as a manifestation of XXXX : clinical and electroencephalographic correlations].

@entity1 @entity410 @entity1313 @entity5 @entity1653 @entity816 @entity302 @entity463
@entity302 may be the earliest and the sole clinical manifestation of @entity1313 . Different studies present @entity302 as the first symptom of a @entity1313 in adults in approximately 30-40% of cases and in @entity1 from 1-10%. In order to evaluate the incidence of @entity302 in @entity1 versus adults with @entity1313 , we investigated the group of 113 @entity1 and 578 adults who were hospitalized at the Departments of Neurology and Developmental Neurology between 1990-1999. Clinical presentation, imaging findings, EEG and pathology reports were collected by chart review and entered into computerized database. Of 113 @entity1 , @entity302 as a first symptom occurred in 14 @entity1 and in 211 adults. Histopathological origin and localization of @entity5 changed according to the age of @entity1 . In all @entity1 's @entity410 were caused by @entity5 originated from neuroepithelial tissue and mainly @entity816 . In adult @entity1 @entity410 were observed also mainly in @entity5 (5 cases infratentorial) which were of metasthatic origin (60%) others were @entity463 multiforme and @entity1653 . The types of @entity410 in both groups differ significantly. @entity1 had mainly secondary generalized @entity410 , while adults simple and complex partial @entity410 . Electroencephalographical findings showed paroxysmal activity always associated with @entity1313 with @entity410 ; however, we found also abnormal EEG patterns in @entity1 with @entity5 without @entity410 . Partial and secondary generalized @entity410 , especially when they are intractable, should be subjected to further investigation for exclusion of @entity1313 not only in adults but also in @entity1 . Normal EEG argues against the likehood of supratentorial lesions.
