Table 1.

Reported visual perceptions during focal aware serial seizures.

Repetitive, stereotypical and elementary visual hallucinations in the left visual field:
- Bright flickering light, partly as intense sunshine
- Mirror reflection of myself



Diffusely distributed complex, moving and non-stereotypical visual hallucinations and illusions in the entire visual field, sometimes with left-sided predominance:
- Difficulty reading and writing, letters change form and position, transform to strange signs, resembling hieroglyphics – cannot control where my pen hits
- The room turning smaller and darker and then larger and brighter
- Familiar sceneries of landscapes, trees, running water, rivers
- Beaches and cottages/boathouses by the sea, reminiscent of previously visited holiday locations
- People with shopping bags passing at the local supermarket
- Distortion of people's faces turning purple; blood
- Hair growing in people's faces, covering only parts of the face or the entire face, as if people turn into werewolves
- Moving purple spots and stains of oil – colourful – to the left – also all over the room – difficult to explain
- Crawling bugs and spiders
