We compared detailed characteristics of blink behavior in epilepsies with health controls. The main conclusions from intragroup analyses were 1) non-occipital lobe epilepsies had decreased blink rates, lower in amplitude, and slower in velocity than occipital epilepsies, which is also typical with epilepsy;2)there were no differences among five epileptic types using simple criteria, except that poly-therapy type had the more typical behavior of epilepsies involving a lower eye blink frequency.
(私たちはてんかん患者と健常者の瞬目の特徴について比較した。主な結果は、①非後頭葉転換患者は後頭葉てんかん患者よりも、瞬目が減少し、振幅は低や速さも遅かった。②多重療法をしている患者を除いた5人の患者は、より典型的なてんかん患者と同様な瞬目の振る舞いを行っていた。)
