[Brain mapping in atonic epileptic attacks with consciousness disorders at school age].
The paper presents the results of the analysis of atonic epileptic seizures with application of brain mapping eeg. The views to date on the pathogenesis of atonic seizures could be based on the assumptions of centrencephalic epilepsy voiced by Penfield and Jasper. The present investigations and electrophysiological-clinical observations support, however, contrary to the concept of Penfield and Jasper, the cortical origin of these seizures. The discussion on the clinical forms of atonic seizures in epilepsy, confirmed by analysis of brain mapping in the domain of frequencies and amplitude distribution, in the form of brain topograms, allows for the concept of cortical origin of these seizures with the probability of localisation of the epileptic focus, as in here presented case, in the anterior right paramedial frontal region of the brain.
