REFERENCES : Temkin O: The Falling Sickness, p. 257, 263, 271, 272 : "Pinel had made it possible to study epilepsy under more favorable conditions than before, and he was also one of the first to see the importance of such studies, stimulating his pupil Maisonneuve to undertake them at the Salpêtrière."; Magiorkinis E et al.: Highights in the History of Epilepsy: The Last 200 Years, Epilepsy Res Treat. 2014: "Maisonneuve stressed the importance for hospitalization of epileptic patients, categorized epilepsy into idiopathic and sympathetic and described the so-called sensitive aura of sympathetic epilepsy."; Sidiropoulou K, Diamantis A & Magiorkinis E: Hallmarks in 18th- and 19th-century epilepsy research, Epilepsy and Behavior, 2010, 18(3), 151¿161 ; Eadie M: Louis François Bravais and Jacksonian epilepsy, Epilepsia, 2010, 51(1), 1-6: "Bravais did not claim that he was the first to have described unilateral convulsive epileptic seizures. He cited several earlier descriptions of the phenomenon, for example, those of Hollier, Jansius (cited by Tissot), Moulin, Portal, and Maisonneuve (1805). However, he claimed that he had not found any previous work that treated hemiplegic epilepsy as a distinct entity and had nowhere read of any previous assertion that epilepsy beginning in only one limb generally remained limited to half of the body."; Krämer G: Kleines Lexikon der Epileptologie, p. 181 ; Beaumanoir A & ¿Roger J : Une histoire de l'épileptologie francophone, p. 37 : "[Maisonneuve signale] l'influence du cycle menstruel [dans la survenue des crises]." © S.A.S.
