Interestingly, subjects with a bilateral headache had deficient postictal habituation compared to lateralized headache. |
Conclusive pathophysiological concepts of postictal headaches cannot yet be proposed. |
One of the challenges of studying PIP is determining when the end of the postictal event becomes the beginning of the ictal period. |
A tonic-clonic reaction may be confused with a seizure but is distinguished by the presence of bradycardia, rapid patient recovery, and the absence of a postictal state. |
Moreover, Todd paralysis or postictal aphasia due to seizure will preclude awake craniotomy. |
The headaches were further categorised as preictal, postictal or interictal. |
