The impact of revised definitions on the epidemiology of status epilepticus: A population-based study. [PDF]
Abstract Objective Status epilepticus (SE) represents one of the most common neurological emergencies. The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) redefined SE duration thresholds from 30 to 5 min for convulsive SE in 2015. We conducted a prospective population‐based study to determine SE incidence and outcomes under the revised criteria and ...

Relationship of left piriform cortex network centrality with temporal lobe epilepsy duration and drug resistance. [PDF]
Abstract Background We investigated the relationship of piriform cortex (PC) structural network centrality with drug resistance and epilepsy duration as markers of sustained epileptic activity. Methods PCs were manually delineated on retrospectively collected 3D‐T1‐MRI images of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Connectomes were computed from

Ictal Electroencephalographic Characteristics of Nodding Syndrome: A Comparative Case-Series from South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. [PDF]
Nodding syndrome (NS) is a poorly understood form of childhood‐onset epilepsy that is characterized by the pathognomonic ictal phenomenon of repetitive vertical head drops. To evaluate the underlying ictal neurophysiology, ictal EEG features were evaluated in nine participants with confirmed NS from South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda and ictal presence ...

Peri-ictal imaging abnormalities in non-convulsive status epilepticus: A systematic review and meta-analysis comparing magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography perfusion. [PDF]
Abstract Objective To assess and compare the detection rates of peri‐ictal abnormalities using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography perfusion (CTP) in patients with non‐convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE). Methods We conducted a systematic literature search in five databases up to February 2025.

A novel geometry‐based analysis of hippocampal morphometry in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy
Hippocampal volumetry is an essential tool in researching and diagnosing neurological diseases, such as mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. However, it is limited in its ability to detect subtle alterations in hippocampal morphometry. In this study, we establish and apply a novel geometry‐based tool that enables point‐wise morphometric analysis based on an ...

Background and Purpose Variants in SCN8A, the NaV1.6 channel's coding gene, are characterized by a variety of symptoms, including intractable epileptic seizures, psychomotor delay, progressive cognitive decline, autistic features, ataxia or dystonia. Standard anticonvulsant treatment has a limited impact on the course of disease.

The diagnostic value of ictal SPECT—A retrospective, semiquantitative monocenter study
Abstract Objective Ictal single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) can be used as an advanced diagnostic modality to detect the seizure onset zone in the presurgical evaluation of people with epilepsy. In addition to visual assessment (VSA) of ictal and interictal SPECT images, postprocessing methods such as ictal‐interictal SPECT analysis ...

Olfactory Dysfunction and Limbic Hypoactivation in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. [PDF]
This study aims to characterize olfactory function in temporal lobe epilepsy using olfactory testing and olfactory functional magnetic resonance imaging. Our findings show olfactory dysfunction associated with hypoactivation in the limbic system of people with temporal lobe epilepsy.
