Abstract
Focal physical signs may occur with generalized seizures. The authors retrospectively reviewed video-EEG studies of 20 patients with apparent primary generalized epilepsy to assess the frequency of head version during generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Five patients (25%) demonstrated forced head version, including two with turning to the right and left on consecutive seizures. Forced head turning can occur in generalized epilepsy and may not necessarily indicate focal seizure origin.
