Abstract

An 18-year-old right-handed neurologically normal woman has new onset focal epilepsy, presenting with a secondary generalized tonic-clonic seizure after a yearlong history of episodes of déjà vu associated with mild confusion lasting 1-2 min. She has a normal MRI, no risk factors for epilepsy, and an EEG that shows right temporal spikes. What is your decision pathway in terms of diagnostic and treatment approaches for her?.
