Tai P. et al. Postictal wandering (PIW) is common after temporal lobe seizures. Neurology 2010; 74:11:924-931.
PIW occurs in 4 % of seizures, and 13 % of seizures of patients who experienced PIW (n=42 patients admitted to an epilepsy monitoring unit in Toronto. It occurred in 9/20 with TLE and 2/22 with non TLE, and 18/186 temporal seizures, and 2/266 non temporal lobe seizures.
Literature tends to emphasize frontal seizures, contrary to these results, but may reflect selection bias of a different group.
