The different types and common features of paroxysmal attacks are illustrated by three case reports. The main cause for these attacks is multiple sclerosis, but the mechanism is still unknown: ephaptic activation of demyelinated neurons is discussed. "Anticonvulsive therapy" leads to cessation of the attacks.
