Abstract
Ictal fear is characterized by subjective fear sensation and consistent clinical manifestations during seizures. This phenomenon is rarely observed in parietal seizures. We report anatomical electroclinical correlations of an SEEG-recorded seizure with prominent fear semiology. Seizure onset zone was quantified using the Connectivity Epileptogenicity Index method (cEI). Occurrence of fear during seizures was related to the involvement of the left inferior parietal cortex and the superior temporal gyrus without amygdala involvement. Our case confirms that parietal seizure can produce ictal fear without concomitant involvement of the limbic temporal network.
