Issue Date: | 21-Oct-2013 | Publication information: | Journal of Clinical Neuroscience 2013; 21(4): 688-9 | Abstract: | The insular cortex is located deep within the Sylvian fissure, and has rich connections. We describe two patients with focal epilepsy arising from this area, with symptoms of choking and strangulation during consciousness. Clinicians should be aware of this unusual presentation and that interictal electroencephalography can be normal. | Gov't Doc #: | 24156903 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/11919 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.jocn.2013.05.012 | Journal: | Journal of Clinical Neuroscience | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24156903 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Choking Insular Opercular Seizure Adult Airway Obstruction Cerebral Cortex.pathology Diagnosis, Differential Epilepsies, Partial.complications.diagnosis.pathology Female Humans Magnetic Resonance Imaging Male Seizures.diagnosis.etiology.pathology Young Adult |
