Meanings of ictal bradycardia in English

We sought to assess critically the predictable value of ictal bradycardia for seizure localization and lateralization.

Results: All occurrences of ictal bradycardia in the 13 identified patients were associated with temporal lobe-onset seizures.

These studies have suggested that ictal bradycardia is most commonly a manifestation of activation of the left temporal and insular cortex.

In addition, we performed a comprehensive review of the ictal bradycardia literature focusing on localization of seizure activity in ictal bradycardia cases.

Conclusions: Ictal bradycardia most often occurs in association with bilateral hemispheric seizure activity and is not a consistent lateralizing sign in localizing seizure onset.
