Seizures with negative phenomena.
Somatic inhibitory seizures and amnesic seizures are thought to occur rarely. We describe a patient with both types of seizures who initially presented with a clinical picture of transient ischemic attack. Neuroradiological investigations revealed a lesion probably a cavernoma located above the parietooccipital sulcus in the isthmus of cingulate gyrus. Anticonvulsant therapy eliminated both types of seizure.
