↵1-150 The case reported by Rae6 was excluded because only a painful stimulus to the hyperaesthetic area elicited seizures and emotional excitement was also reported to trigger them in that case. The case reported by Strauss7 was also excluded, because rubbing the skin at any point on the right half of the body or a similar rubbing of symmetric points on both sides of the body simultaneously provoked seizures.
↵1-151 In all cases, sensory jacksonian seizures preceded motor seizures.
