Ictal semiology in anterior cingulate epilepsy: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT: Seizures originating from the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) have distinct clinical features but can be difficult to identify in frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE). This systematic review examines the key semiology of ACC seizures and their anatomical correlations. A systematic search was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, including studies reporting ictal semiology, invasive EEG findings, and surgical outcomes in patients with ACC seizures, allowing for the establishment of anatomical and clinical correlations with a high level of confidence. Studies based only on stimulations were excluded. We selected 23 studies including 93 patients (57% males, 46% children). MRI positive (59%), invasive monitoring (74%), surgery (100%) with Engel class I outcome (80%) were the main characteristics. Cort
