Zusammenfassung

Ausgehend von einem neuen Krankheitsbericht werden die bisherigen Berichte über 77 Kranke zusammengefasst, bei denen Gänsehaut als Symptom im Rahmen fokal-epileptischer Anfälle von anderen autonomen oder komplexen Anfallssymptomen begleitet wurde. Nur selten war sie Hauptsymptom oder einziges Symptom des epileptischen Anfalls. Vor allem wurde sie in 1 – 3 % von therapieresistenten Temporallappenepilepsien erfasst. Ätiologisch kamen alle möglichen Hirnaffektionen vor, hauptsächlich Tumore und Hippokampussklerosen oder -atrophien, aber 15 – 50 % waren kryptogener Natur. In den Epilepsie-Büchern ist sie allenfalls nur beiläufig im Rahmen autonomer Symptome bzw. Anfälle angeführt.

Abstract

Based on a new relevant case the hitherto existing reports concerning 77 patients are summarised in which piloerection occurred in focal epileptic seizures connected with other autonomic or complex seizure symptoms. Only rarely have goosebumps been the main symptom or the sole symptom. Mainly they were reported in 1 – 3 % of drug-resistent temporal lobe epilepsies. Regarding aetiology all sorts of cerebral lesions could be found, especially tumours and sclerosis or atrophy of the hippocampus, but 15 – 50 % are cryptogenic. In the textbooks of epilepsy the disorder is mentioned only incidentally in connection with autonomic symptoms or seizures.
