What Is Frontal Lobe Epilepsy?

Frontal lobe epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by short, redundant seizures which arise in the frontal lobe of the brain.
It usually arises when the affected individual is sleeping. Such seizures, when experienced while asleep may lead to exhibition of bicyclical motion and pelvic thrusting.
The second most common type of epilepsy, frontal lobe epilepsy is marked by two forms of partial seizures; namely simple partial seizure or complex partial seizure.  While simple partial seizures don’t affect memory, complex partial seizures do.
Symptoms of the frontal lobe epilepsy vary according to the affected location of the frontal lobe. Diagnoses may be difficult since frontal lobe epilepsy leads to unusual symptoms which are mistaken for other conditions, such as psychiatric disorder, non-epileptic seizure etc.
There are many different causes of frontal lobe epilepsy ranging from genetics to head trauma that result in lesions in the frontal lobes. Possible treatment includes medications such as anti-epileptic drugs. However, if such medications are ineffective, surgery may be necessary.

However, possible causes may include:

    o    low-grade gliomas
    o     epidermoid tumors
  •     Lesions on the frontal lobe
    Hamartomas
    Nodular heterotopias

  •     Repetitive movements, such as rocking, bicycle pedaling or pelvic thrusting
  •     Abnormal sensations (which may include a rising or “funny” feeling in the gut)
  •     Hallucinations (including sights, smells, tastes)
  •     Vivid déjà vu or recalled memories or emotions
  •     A sudden, intense emotion not related to anything happening at the time

    MRI, to reveal the source of blood clot, if any.
  •     Electroencephalogram (EEG)
  •     Video EEG
