Article Synopsis
  • * A 25-year-old female patient with a history of seizures experienced gelastic seizures (inappropriate laughter) and developed GS to the right side, despite ongoing antiepileptic treatment and inconclusive EEG results.
  • * The presence of polydactyly in the patient raised the possibility of Pallister Hall syndrome (PHS), though some features were missing; the report emphasizes the relationship between GS and HH, encouraging research on the implications of hypothalam

Gyratory seizures (GS) are rare and have been reported in focal (frontal and temporal) as well as generalized epilepsies. The exact neuroanatomical substrate of gyration during a seizure is not clearly understood, but is thought to be due to the involvement of the basal ganglia. The direction of gyration occurring without head version is thought to have ipsilateral cerebral origins, while gyrational seizures preceded by forced head version are suggestive of seizure onset contralateral to the direction of gyration or the presence or absence of forced head version is thought to have important implications for lateralization of seizure origins from the direction of gyration.

Purpose: Ictal semiology complements ictal EEG in identifying the likely epileptogenic zone. Ictal turning prone (ITP) with body turning of 90 ° or more can be seen with frontal lobe epilepsies. The aim of our study was to evaluate the localizing value of ITP in a general population of patients undergoing long term video-EEG monitoring.
