Vertiginous epilepsy is infrequently the first symptom of a seizure, characterized by a feeling of vertigo. When it occurs, there is a sensation of rotation or movement that lasts for a few seconds before full seizure activity.

2021年8月4日 · Vertigo may be a symptom of an underlying health issue – in fact it can even be associated with certain types of epilepsy. Epilepsy is a chronic central nervous system condition that impacts 3.4 million people in the U.S. Epilepsy causes above all, unexpected seizures, but also uncommon disorientation due to brain activity abnormalities.

Seizures can cause vestibular symptoms, even without obvious epileptic features. We sought to characterize epileptic vertigo or dizziness (EVD) to improve differentiation from nonepileptic causes, particularly when vestibular symptoms are the sole ...

2023年5月11日 · Epileptic vertigo is generally only a diagnostic problem when the person does not have a full seizure -- in other words, they do not have the convulsions, psychomotor symptoms or twitching characteristic of classic partial or generalized seizures.

2022年1月3日 · In reality, epileptic vertigo is actually a rare form of a partial seizure. The key symptom of epileptic vertigo is the same as the non-epilepsy related counterpart, an uncomfortable spinning sensation which can be combined with convulsions related to epilepsy.

If associated with epilepsy, vertigo was considered a symptom that may be felt at the onset of a seizure and even if it accompanied epilepsy, it conferred nothing of significance regarding classification or degree of severity (Bladin, 1998).

2024年7月4日 · Vertiginous epilepsy (VE) is a rare and underrecognized epilepsy subtype in the pediatric population. Vertiginous symptoms are the sole or predominant feature, arise from the vestibular cortex, and seizures are usually brief. The incidence is estimated to be between six and 15 percent of pediatric patients presenting with dizziness.

2024年12月16日 · Focal seizures may encompass vestibular sensations in their symptomatology. When these manifestations occur in isolation or constitute the predominant symptom, they prompt consideration for diagnosing recurrent paroxysmal vertigo. However, the characterization of “vestibular epilepsy” remains debated and underexplored.

2020年12月1日 · The semiology of epileptic vertigo was true vertigo in five patients, vertigo with nausea in two patients and vertigo with hearing loss in one patient. Two patients suffered from focal seizures, and in seven patients the seizures were …

Our findings expand the symptom spectrum of epilepsy, suggesting that vertigo can be an uncommon clinical manifestation of frontal lobe epilepsy. Although the pathological correlation between vertigo and epilepsy remains elusive, our findings indicate that vestibular cortical neurons may participate in periodic epileptiform discharges of the ...
