[Paroxysmal and bizarre motor agitation as manifestation of partial frontal lobe epileptic seizures].
Three patients, two men of 21 and 38 years and a woman of 20 years old, showed atypical seizures with motor agitation without tongue bite, incontinence or postictal confusion. After extensive video-EEG registration frontal lobe epilepsia was diagnosed. This is a relatively recently recognized disease entity.
