Frontal lobe epilepsy
COMMON FORM OF EPILEPSY THAT MAY APPEAR TO BE RELATED TO A PSYCHIATRIC PROBLEM OR A SLEEP DISORDER
Epilepsy, frontal lobe
Frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE) is a neurological disorder which is a subtype of the larger group of epilepsy and then focal epilepsy is characterized by brief, recurring seizures that arise in the frontal lobes of the brain, often while the patient is sleeping. It is the second most common type of focal epilepsy after temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), and is related to the temporal form by the fact that both forms are characterized by the occurrence of partial (focal) seizures.
