Seizures with motor manifestations (n = 511) were selected and divided into four semiological groups: (a) frontal \u201chyperkinetic\u201d seizures (FHS): 30 seizures, 12 patients, (b) frontal lobe seizures (FLS) other than FHS: 228 seizures, 26 patients, (c) temporal lobe seizures (TLS): 194 seizures, 55 patients, (d) extra\u2010frontal\/extra\u2010temporal seizures (EF\/ETS): 59 seizures, 16 patients. We evaluated IG features by means of video\u2010analysis.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Results:<\/jats:italic> IG was observed in 96.7% of FHS (100% of patients), with a mean latency of 3 s, and a mean prevalence of 7.9 IG per seizure, directed to a limited number of surrounding objects or body parts. In 22.4% of FLS (11.5% of patients) 1\u20133 prolonged IGs were present, with a mean latency of 2 s and mainly directed to a fixed external point. IG was occasionally present in TLS (10.3%, in 20% of patients) and EF\/ETS (5.1%, in 12.5% of patients), with longer latencies and without any stereotypy. We did not find a reliable lateralizing value of IG.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Conclusions:<\/jats:italic> Prevalence of IG in FHS was significantly higher than in other seizure groups. In FHS and FLS, IG had shorter latency and stereotyped features, characterizing an automatic (\u201crelease\u201d?) behavior. In extra\u2010frontal seizures, IG seemed to be an occasional purposeful movement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1528-1167.2006.00879.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,12,14]],"date-time":"2006-12-14T07:30:03Z","timestamp":1166081403000},"page":"59-63","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Ictal Grasping: Prevalence and Characteristics in Seizures with Different Semiology"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Elena","family":"Gardella","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guido","family":"Rubboli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlo Alberto","family":"Tassinari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,12,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/50.2.142"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1528-1157.2001.22001.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","first-page":"115","article-title":"The clinical signs and symptoms of frontal lobe seizures.
