| Description | PIVS are relatively frequent ictal signs in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. The most frequently observed PIVS are peri-ictal coughing and peri-ictal water drinking. Other signs are rare (peri-ictal vomiting, peri-ictal spitting).It is probable that at least peri-ictal coughing, water drinking and vomiting have lateralizing significance and occur more often in temporal lobe epilepsy of the language-nondominant temporal lobe. |
