Kinesigenic reflex epilepsy associated with a glioma in the lateral peri-rolandic region.
A patient with kinesigenic focal motor seizures induced by tongue-jaw movement had a grade III astrocytoma clearly co-localizing with the epileptic network in the appropriate peri-rolandic, motor-sensory, lingual-jaw cortical area. The clinical seizure phenomena were time-locked with the EEG epileptic activity. [Published with video sequences].
