English translation:tonic seizures with versive head and eye movement
Explanation:
Another possibility, using plain English.

I couldn't find any references to "versive tonic seizures" so have moved "versive" to the end of the phrase. This is more logical because it refers to the "head and eye" part of the seizure.

crisis tonicas ***versivas oculocefálicas***
Tonic seizures with oculocephalic and versive deviation


Explanation:
This would be my suggestion, based on the wording of the original.
the terms oculocephalic deviation, tonic deviation and versive deviation all exist individually, and there are tonic and versive seizures, but I'm not 100% sure as to how these phenomena combine, and how to express it. Perhaps someone else can give a more definitive suggestion :)

John Libbey EUROTEXT (Home > Journals > Medicine > Epileptic Disorders)

"When confirmation of the epileptic nature of paroxysmal phenomena is needed, video-EEG recordings may be of some help. Possible subjective manifestations are: cephalic and neuro-vegetative (even epigastric) manifestations, as well as "pensée forcée", fear, olfactory hallucinations, non-lateralized visual disturbances. Motor manifestations include tonic, dystonic, postural, oculocephalic deviations and falls. Verbal and more often gestural automatisms can be complex, very brief and often violent, but elementary automatisms, such as automatic hand and mouth movements, or bimanual and pedaling movements, are also frequent."

Seizure No. 2
B.R. 17 yrs
Unilateral oculo-cephalic deviation.
Seizures No. 7, 8 and 9
A.P. 42 yrs
Three episodes with unilateral oculo-cephalic deviation and motor aphasia.

Atypical evolution in childhood epilepsy with occipital paroxysms

"We report, on two, school-age girls with clinical and electroencephalographic features of early onset childhood epilepsy with occipital paroxysms (CEOP) of the Panayiotopoulos type that showed atypical evolution. Neurological examination and brain imaging were normal in both. One child presented at age 2.5 years episodes of oculocephalic deviation, and ictal vomiting during nocturnal sleep."
