Interested in submitting quiz questions? Contact our associate editorial director, Matt Hoffman, via email:
A 35-year-old woman presents with recurrent episodes of altered consciousness, automatisms, and postictal confusion. Video-EEG monitoring captures ictal activity originating in the mesial temporal lobe. What is the most likely diagnosis?
A 22-year-old man with a history of generalized tonic-clonic seizures presents with sudden brief episodes of muscle jerking involving the upper extremities. The jerks are stimulus-sensitive and occur shortly after awakening. What is the most likely diagnosis?
A 45-year-old man presents with recurrent episodes of brief staring spells associated with automatisms. Interictal EEG is normal, but a routine MRI shows hippocampal sclerosis. What is the most likely diagnosis?
