Circling seizures in a case with Wilson's disease.
We report a case of Wilson's disease with circling seizures. Because of the existence of other types of frontal automatism and the EEG focus on the frontal regions, circling seizures of the patient were thought to originate from the frontal lobe. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated large cavitary lesions on bilateral frontal lobes. The mechanisms of circling behavior are discussed in association with Wilson's disease.
