Epilepsia, 1988
Summary: Epilepsy can be triggered by many unusual mechanisms. Some are exceedingly rare and bizarre, seemingly confined to one patient. This article reports the case of a 20‐year‐old woman who has had absence epilepsy for 11 years that is evoked by thinking or talking about driving an automobile.

Pharmacology of absence epilepsy
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 2003Abstract Absence epilepsy, a disease predominantly of childhood, has long been known to arise from an aberration of the interplay between two brain regions, the cortex and the thalamus. Pharmacological treatment of the disorder has advanced little during past decades, with ethosuximide and sodium valproate remaining the principle drugs of choice ...

Epilepsia, 1993
Four syndromes comprise the absence epilepsies. Each is classically associated with the absence seizure, although other syndromes also have absence attacks as part of their repertoire. The most common syndrome is childhood absence epilepsy; it usually occurs in the age range of 6–7 years.

Human absence epilepsies [PDF]
, 1992 A historical review of the concept of absence seizures. Their clinical features are very suggestive but a diagnosis made solely on clinical grounds is not always safe. Comparable pitfalls exist in the interpretation of EEG patterns. Absence seizures belong to several epileptic syndromes. They are briefly described.

Thalamic stimulation in absence epilepsy
Epilepsy Research, 2013The site specific effects of two different types of electrical stimulation of the thalamus on electroencephalic epileptic activity as generated in the cortico-thalamo-cortical system were investigated in genetic epileptic WAG/Rij rats, a well characterized and validated absence model.First, 12 male rats received low frequency (double-pulse pairs of 2 ...

Lamotrigine in typical absence epilepsy
Brain and Development, 1999Lamotrigine (LTG) is an anti-epileptic drug effective in partial seizures and generalized epilepsy. There is growing evidence of the usefulness of LTG in childhood (CAE) orjuvenile (JAE) absences resistant to previous treatment. In this study all patients were identified using strict diagnostic criteria and subdivided into two groups.

Childhood epilepsy and school absence
Tropical Doctor, 2008Epilepsy is one of the most common diseases encountered among school children. Its effect on school attendance and academic performance is a major cause of concern to both parents and clinicians. In this communication, the absence rate and academic performance of 50 school children with epilepsy attending normal schools was compared with that of their

Current Advances in Childhood Absence Epilepsy [PDF]
Pediatric Neurology, 2014 Childhood absence epilepsy is an age-dependent, idiopathic, generalized epilepsy with a characteristic seizure appearance. The disorder is likely to be multifactorial, resulting from interactions between genetic and acquired factors, but the debate is still open.

Mechanisms of generalized absence epilepsy
Brain and Development, 1998Absence seizures represent bilaterally synchronous burst-firing of an ensemble of reciprocally connected neuronal populations located in the thalamus and neocortex. Recent studies demonstrate that neurons in the reticular thalamic nucleus (nRt), thalamic relay neurons (RNs), and neocortical pyramidal cells comprise a circuit that sustains the ...

Epilepsy with myoclonic absences
Journal of Pediatric Neurology, 2015We describe our experience with a 14-year-old boy whowasdiagnosed to have epilepsywithmyoclonic absences (EMA). This boy presented with seizures since 7 yr of age. Seizures were in the form of sudden onset myoclonic jerks involving muscles of shoulders and arms, concomitant tonic contraction lead to a progressive elevation of the upper extremities ...
