A Rare Finding in Epilepsy: Ictal Singing and Spitting

Öz:
Singing is an emotional musical vocalization, with several forms and styles in different cultures. Ictal singing in focal epilepsy is rare. It is accepted as a complex automatism, with only few reported cases. We reported a case with complex automatisms that included ictal singing and spitting, with an epileptogenic zone in the right temporal lobe. A 24-year-old right-handed man was referred for pharmacoresistant epilepsy. Despite administering three anticonvulsant drugs in efficient doses, seizures occurred several times per month. The seizures were characterized by staring for a few seconds, during which the patient stayed unresponsive. This was followed by spitting and singing, the same song each time. The song was from a television-drama series that he had watched during his childhood and had an emotional impact on him. Our patient sang the same song during every attack. The song was from a television series. The patient had watched the series during his childhood and was emotionally influenced with it. Therefore, it might be the release of subconscious emotions suppressed during childhood, which stimulated him to recall the song and sing it during the seizures.

Epilepside Nadir Bir Bulgu: İktal Şarkı Söyleme ve Tükürme

Öz:
Şarkı söylemek, farklı kültürlerde çeşitli biçimleri ve stilleri olan duygusal, müzikal seslendirme olarak tanımlanabilir. Fokal epilepsilerde iktal dönemde şarkı söylemek oldukça nadir gözlenir. Literatürde az sayıda vaka bildirilmiştir. Bu eylem, kompleks bir otomatizma olarak kabul görmektedir. Bu yazımızda, sağ temporal lobda epileptojenik bölge tespit edilmiş olan iktal şarkı söyleme ve tükürme davranışı gösteren bir olgu bildirmeyi amaçladık. Olgumuz 24 yaşında ilaca dirençli epilepsi tanısı ile epilepsi merkezimize yönlendirilmiş olan bir hasta; etkin süre ve dozlarda üç antikonvülsan ilaç tedavisi altında ayda birkaç kere tekrar eden nöbetler ile başvurdu. Nöbetler, hastanın davranışsal ve motor donma göstermesi ile başlıyor; ardından tükürme ve şarkı söyleme gelişiyordu. Hastamız her atakta aynı şarkıyı söylüyordu. Hastanın her nöbetinde söylediği bu şarkı, çocukluğunda izlediği ve üzerinde duygusal bir etkisi olan bir televizyon dizisinden geliyordu. Bu durumu, çocukluğu sırasında kendisini çok etkilemiş olan bu şarkının nöbetler sırasında serbestlenmesi olarak yorumladık.
