Opsoclonus in Pediatric Patients: Differential Diagnosis and a Practical Approach to Evaluation

Annals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Opsoclonus is an ocular dyskinesia characterized by involuntary, arrhythmic, multidirectional saccades. In pediatrics, opsoclonus is most commonly attributed to the rare neuroinflammatory disorder opsoclonus‐myoclonus‐ataxia syndrome (OMAS), typically considered a paraneoplastic syndrome associated with neural crest tumors. However, opsoclonus

New-Onset Headache in Patients With Autoimmune Encephalitis Is Associated With anti-NMDA-Receptor Antibodies. [PDF]

, 2016
OBJECTIVE We tested the hypotheses (i) that autoimmune encephalitis is associated with new-onset headache, and (ii) that the occurrence of headache is associated with the presence of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-receptor antibodies. BACKGROUND

Abstract Objectives Super‐refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) is a neurological emergency with high morbidity and mortality. Cenobamate, a novel antiseizure medication, may be helpful in managing SRSE, but evidence is limited. Methods This retrospective case series reports the use of cenobamate as add‐on therapy in the management of three cases of ...

High albumin level is a predictor of favorable response to immunotherapy in autoimmune encephalitis

Scientific Reports, 2018
There is no known biomarker that predicts the response to immune therapy in autoimmune synaptic encephalitis. Thus, we investigated serum albumin as a prognostic biomarker of early immune therapies in patients with autoimmune encephalitis.

Localizing value of cutaneous ictal phenomena: A systematic review

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Clinical observation of autonomic signs during seizures can aid in localizing the epileptogenic zone (EZ). We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis to evaluate the localizing value of ictal cutaneous phenomena—piloerection, sweating, pallor, and flushing—in focal epilepsy and their relevance to presurgical evaluation ...
