Abstract
In a patient with holoprosencephaly, partial seizures had various initial ictal symptoms,
and ictal EEGs showed epileptogenic foci in the right and left brain. Partial seizures
did not culminate in secondary generalized tonic–clonic convulsions. Characteristic
malformed structures contribute to the absence of secondary generalization and the
presence of Jacksonian-type propagation.
