ABSTRACT
We report two cases of temporo-perisylvian epilepsy with habitual seizures consistently inducible by hyperventilation (HV). One case was non-lesional, while the other was a lesional temporo-perisylvian epilepsy. Both underwent surgical resection and were seizure-free or nearly seizure-free thereafter. We discuss the pathophysiological changes evoked by HV in healthy brains, and those with generalized and focal epilepsy. We provide a comprehensive and critical review of the literature on the role of HV in focal epilepsy. We suggest HV should be considered an activation method for patients with focal epilepsy during epilepsy monitoring unit admissions and may help in the localization of the epileptogenic network/zone.
