Parietal lobe epilepsy
Epilepsia del lóbulo parietal
Show authors biography
Seizures beginning in the parietal lobe are rare, representing the third most common type of epilepsy after temporal and frontal lobe epilepsies. This rare type of crisis is often overlooked. Thus this clinical case is presented in a woman seen at Hospital Infantil Universitario de San José of Bogotá exhibiting parietal lobe epilepsy semiology and electroencephalographic and diagnostic imaging findings that confirmed the diagnosis. A review of the topic is conducted using the major clinical features of this condition.
