Partial complex seizures are relatively frequent type of epileptic seizures. These attacks are having aura in 60% of cases, that can be vegetative, motor, sensor or psychological one. Important is aura in the form of uncinatus seizures (unpleasant odor), because we must exclude tumor of temporal region in these patients. Altered consciousness comes after aura, patient has opened eyes, face can be pale or red, and automatism appear, in the form of different movements. These automatisms are often considered insignificant by parents or eyewitnesses. There is often misdiagnosis of this type of seizures, because only about 20% of standard EEG recordings find specific epileptic grapho-elements. Therapy of these seizures is difficult, with the success in only 50% of cases. Ictal automatisms were tested in the group of 36 children with partial complex seizures aged 4 to 17 years. Duration of epilepsy was 1 to 5 years. All patients had proved diagnosis of partial complex seizures, clinically and on electroencephalography, CT scan and MRI in medically intractable seizures. Eleven patients were videotaped during the attack. All patients had questionnaire filled by parents, about automatisms. Thirty-four patients (94.4%) had ictal automatisms, and 2 with epileptic focus in frontal region did not. Some patients had different types of automatisms. Most frequent ones were mimicking (15.19%), sitting-standing up (10.76%), swinging (8.23%), swallowing (7.59%) etc. It can be concluded that automatisms are almost obligatory part of partial complex seizure, and their registration is essential for correct diagnosis and treatment of these seizures.
