2011, SeizureCitation Excerpt :In two patients of our series, the spasms evolved into tonic seizures. The hypothesis of a focal onset of the seizures is supported by the presence of spasms in patients with a focal lesion, the asymmetry and focal signs in the spasms, the asymmetry in the ictal paroxysms, the fact that the spasms are triggered by a focal seizure, and the disappearance of spasms after surgical removal of focal lesions in refractory patients.6,7,17 However, as yet not enough knowledge is available to determine whether spasms should be classified as focal, generalized, or both.
