title: Micturition induced seizures: ictal EEG and subtraction ictal SPECT findings.
abstract: We report an 8-year-old girl with seizures induced by micturition. Her seizures were characterized by extension of upper extremities with preserved consciousness. Magnetic resonance imaging and interictal electroencephalograms were normal. Ictal electroencephalogram showed low voltage fast waves without clear focal features followed by frontal dominant rhythmic multiple spikes. Subtraction ictal single photon emission computed tomography revealed a significant increase in blood flow in the mesial frontal area.
