2 Fig. 1 Ictal EEG recording shows rhythmic theta activities predominantly in the right frontal lobe associated with left focal orofacial clonic seizures. Seizure - European Journal of Epilepsy  , DOI: ( /j.seizure ) Copyright © 2013 British Epilepsy Association Terms and Conditions

3 Fig. 2 (A) FLAIR sequence brain MRI in the acute period shows bilateral. hyperintensity in both hippocampi. (B) 18 months later. FLAIR sequence brain MRI evidences cortical and subcortical atrophy with ventricular enlargement. (C) FLAIR sequence brain MRI in the acute phase shows bilateral and symmetric involvement of caudate and lentiform nuclei in another patient.
