Article Abstract
Four patients had prolonged,sensory,simple partial seizures(SPS),lasting up to several days,without associated behavioural impairment.In three patients,the SPS often occurred as a prolonged"aura"before a more overt seizure.Descriptions included:"butterflies",rising epigastric sensation;"a thought in the stomach",and an olfactory sensation.Seizure localisation was frontal in one case,temporal in two cases and uncertain in one case. These sensations may represent an under-reported form of continuous,focal seizure activity,which arises from various cerebral regions.
