Abstract

A 31-year-old man with secondary generalized epilepsy and atonic, tonic-clonic, focal motor, and absence seizures, had, in addition, autonomic seizures characterized by vomiting only. These seizures were always associated with a specific paroxysmal focal cerebral discharge recorded by simultaneous video and EEG.
