[Symptomatic absence seizures, the least known causation of absence seizures].

Revista de neurologia, 2019
According to the 1981 International League Against Epilepsy classification, absence seizures are the paradigm of idiopathic generalised seizures of childhood. Although absences are mainly of an idiopathic origin, there are also symptomatic absences, which account for 10% of all cases of absences. It is thought that a structural pathology can favour the

Reading-induced absence seizures

Neurology, 1995
Reading epilepsy usually presents with jaw myoclonus and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. We report a 12-year-old girl with absence seizures induced by reading, which were diagnosed by video EEG. An absence seizure with generalized 3-Hz spike-and-wave discharge occurred within 30 seconds of each reading session.

Misdiagnosis of Complex Absence Seizures

Archives of Neurology, 1984
Video-EEG monitoring disclosed absence seizures in five patients who were treated for partial seizures. Analysis of the historical and video data showed the presence of several potentially misleading ictal manifestations as follows: unidirectional head and/or eye turning, symmetric clonic activity, urinary incontinence, loss of balance causing injuries,

ABSENCE SEIZURES | Thalamocortical Synchronization and Absence Epilepsy

2009
Generalized spike-and-wave (SW) discharges are often associated with periods of impaired consciousness (i.e., withabsence seizures) and reflect thalamocortical oscillations similar to those involved in sleep spindles, but at a lowerfrequency. Both cortical and thalamic neuronal networks contribute to SWdischarge.

Cinromide in the Treatment of Absence Seizures

Epilepsia, 1983
Summary: Cinromide (BW‐122U) was evaluated in an open pilot study of absence seizures in three naive (previously untreated for absence seizures) patients (one male and two females, 7 to 8 years of age). In these naive patients, cinromide was found to be well tolerated but ineffective in reducing generalized spike‐and‐wave discharges on the telemetered

Prognostic factors in absence seizures

Neurology, 1976
A prospective follow-up study was conducted on 48 epileptic patients (22 males and 26 females) who had participated in a collaborative study of absence seizures about 7 years earlier. Multivariate analysis showed that the significant prognostic factors for absence seizures were normal or above normal intelligence and normal electroencephalographic ...

Absence Seizures and the Frontal Lobe

Clinical Electroencephalography, 2000
There is no doubt that the frontal lobe plays a major role in the 3/sec spike-wave absence seizure. It is pointed out initially that the controversies of cortical vs. thalamic origin of the spike-waves and the associated absence can be laid at rest as far as human absence seizures and human primary generalized epilepsy (PGE) are concerned: their origin

Absences in adult seizure disorders

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2005
From a phenomenological point of view, absence seizures refer to any type of epileptic event characterized by loss of awareness and responsiveness. However, a phenomenological definition of absence seizures is hampered by difficulties in conceptualizing consciousness and needs to take into account the electroclinical features and anatomical basis of ...

Instantly detecting absence seizures

Clinical Neurophysiology
Among the pediatric epilepsies, Childhood Absence Epilepsy (CAE) is highly prevalent (Specchio et al., 2022). In some CAE patients, sensory stimulation has been shown to inhibit seizures. A visionary study (Rajna and Lona, 1989) demonstrated this phenomenon by instantly detecting a seizure in the EEG, then clapping or shouting at the patient, and ...

Absence seizures: Valproate or ethosuximide?

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 1983
A series of 47 children with absence seizures was analysed retrospectively. Fourteen of these children also had other types of seizures, and four had repeated episodes of absence status. The age at onset of absence seizures ranged from 1 1/2 to 13 years (mean, 7.9 years). The mean follow-up was 5.5 years.
