Does a history of secondary generalized tonic-clonic seizures have a role in surgical risk stratification?
Predictors of secondary generalized tonic-clonic seizures in frontal lobe epilepsy

A retrospective analysis of 48 patients with confirmed frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE) examined the occurrence of secondary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (SGTCS). Three independent predictors of a history of SGTCS in FLE were identified:

  • Loss of responsiveness at seizure onset
  • A semiology involving early elementary motor signs
  • Multifocal spikes on EEG.

Seizure-free outcomes were reported in 57% of surgical cases and were more likely in those without SGTCS.
