2021, Clinical NeurophysiologyCitation Excerpt :Since the literature was reviewed by Rossi et al. (2009), at least six additional clear TMS-induced seizures have been reported (Bagati et al., 2012; Chiramberro et al., 2013; Boes et al., 2016; Cullen et al., 2016; Cogne et al., 2017; Groiss et al., 2017). In addition, we have to mention a spontaneous seizure most likely not causally related to ppTMS (Vernet et al., 2012) and one other event, which may have been a convulsive syncope (Alonso-Alonso et al., 2011; Kratz, 2011; Kratz et al., 2011). However, as the use of TMS has spread and seizures are recognized as an “expected” potential AE, seizures are likely being newly reported only when the circumstances are remarkable in some way.
