Table 2. Seizure propagation speed and duration.

Number of seizures Seizure propagation speed (cm/min) Seizure duration (min)
Case 1 8 5.1 ± 4.5 36.4 ± 51.5
Case 2 3 2.9 ± 2.2 12.4 ± 2.8
Case 3 6 1.2 ± 0.2 2.6 ± 0.5
Case 4 2 0.8 ± 0.3 22.5 ± 21.9
Case 5 2 0.8 ± 0.3 9.0 ± 8.5
Average - 3.1 ± 3.6 19.4 ± 33.6

The mean propagation speed of the seizures was 3.1 ± 3.6 cm/min, with a range of 0.3 to 10.0 cm/min. The mean duration of 21 seizures was 19.4 ± 33.6 min, with a range of 2.0 to 151 min. Older patients (cases 4, 5) tended to present a slower propagation speed.
