Painful Auras in Focal Epilepsy Neurol 57:700-702, Nair,D.R.,et al, 2001 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The authors studied the localizing or lateralizing value of painful epileptic auras in 25 patients with focal epilepsy. Painful auras were seen in 4.1% patients with focal epilepsy arising from temporal, frontal, perirolandic, or parieto-occi pital regions. Abdominal pain was present in 5% of all abdominal auras in temporal lobe epilepsy and 50% of all abdominal auras in frontal lobe epilepsy. In perirolandic epilepsy, painful somatosensory auras were lateralized contralateral to the epileptic hemisphere but not consistently in temporal lobe epilepsy.
