Results are discussed with relation to the literature.

Patient 2 had no CD, normal coronary angiography and presented secondary generalized convulsive seizures. Patient 3 had no history of CD, normal angiography and had a first single convulsive seizure. Patient 4 had severe CD and suffered from a single convulsive event. Patient 5 had a partial and a generali…
