Activation of epileptic seizures of epileptiform EEG abnormalities by specific types of intellectual activity has been documented only rarely. Despite infrequent occurrence, these cases are of interest in the study of epileptic mechanisms and cerebral integrative systems. We describe a 67-year-old woman with long-standing seizures who consistently activated right frontal spike discharges in the EEG when she attempted to perform mental arithmetic. The activating effect was not precisely related to the difficulty of the mathematical problem, nor to alerting or concentrated attention. No EEG activation resulted from reading, writing, reciting, revisualizing, or recalling numbers or other symbols.
特定类型的智力活动激活癫痫样脑电图异常的癫痫发作仅被极少记录。尽管此类情况很少发生,但这些病例在癫痫机制和大脑整合系统的研究中具有重要意义。我们描述了一位67岁患有长期癫痫发作的女性,当她试图进行心算时,脑电图中始终会激活右额叶棘波放电。这种激活效应与数学问题的难度、警觉或集中注意力并无精确关联。阅读、书写、背诵、回忆数字或其他符号均未导致脑电图激活。
