The localization of the ictal and interictal discharges, the onset and duration of the hyperkinetic movements, as well as the ictal-postictal electrophysiological and semiological features, were reviewed. The patients were divided into two groups according to their HS onset timing: if the onset of hyperkinetic semiology was in the first 10\u2009seconds, they were classified as early-onset HS; if later, as late-onset HS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>We included 29 patients (171 seizures); seizure onset was localized to the frontal region in 21 patients, and to the temporal and temporo-occipital regions in 6 patients, and it could not be determined in 2 patients. The HSs started in the early period in 21 patients, and in the late period in 8 patients; HSs originating from the frontal region started earlier than those originating from the temporal region (6.2 versus 25.7\u2009seconds respectively; p\u2009=\u20090.002). Electrophysiological (35.4 versus 95.7\u2009seconds respectively; p\u2009=\u20090.004) and clinical (34.3 versus 94.6\u2009seconds respectively; p\u2009=\u20090.003) seizure durations were shorter in frontal-onset seizures compared with temporal-onset seizures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The timing of HS onset and the duration of the seizures are informative in terms of localization.
