Epilepsia partialis continua complicated by disseminated tuberculosis and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2019
We describe a patient copresenting with epilepsia partialis continua, tuberculosis, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of this triad. A 54-year-old black South African woman presented to a hospital

The adjunctive application of transcranial direct current stimulation in the management of de novo refractory epilepsia partialis continua in adolescent‐onset POLG‐related mitochondrial disease

Epilepsia Open, 2018
Focal status epilepticus in POLG‐related mitochondrial disease is highly refractory to pharmacological agents, including general anesthesia. We report the challenges in managing a previously healthy teenager who presented with de novo epilepsia partialis

Exploring the role of apolipoprotein ε4 in progressive myoclonic epilepsy type 1

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Progressive myoclonic epilepsy type 1 (EPM1) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by biallelic variants in the cystatin B (CSTB) gene. Despite a progressive course, phenotype severity varies among patients, even within families. We studied the potential role of APOE ε4 in modifying phenotypic diversity in EPM1, given its established

Homozygous TBC1D24 Mutation in a Case of Epilepsia Partialis Continua

Frontiers in Neurology, 2018
TBC1D24 mutation-related epileptic syndrome includes a wide spectrum of epilepsies. We describe a case with a homozygous TBC1D24 mutation inherited from consanguineous parents.

Resolution of generalized tonic seizures following focal ablative or resective surgery

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Focal brain lesions may underlie generalized tonic seizures, as seen in Lennox–Gastaut syndrome, by engaging bilateral neural networks. However, this seizure type is often not considered surgically remediable. Here, we describe the resolution of apparent electroclinically classic generalized tonic seizures in children originating ...

Emergency electroencephalogram: Usefulness in the diagnosis of nonconvulsive status epilepticus by the on-call neurologist

Neurología (English Edition), 2018
Introduction: We aim to describe the use of emergency electroencephalogram (EmEEG) by the on-call neurologist when nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is suspected, and in other indications, in a tertiary hospital. Subjects and methods: Observational

Preclinical signal for a disease‐modifying effect on seizure cluster severity with intermittent diazepam treatment

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective In epilepsy, daily treatment provides only symptomatic seizure control, leaving a significant unmet need for a treatment that affects the underlying predisposition to seizures. Here, in a first‐of‐its‐kind study, we test the hypothesis that intermittent treatment of seizure clusters with diazepam in the kainic acid post‐status ...

A call for ethical, equitable, and effective artificial intelligence to improve care for all people with epilepsy: A roadmap. A report by the ILAE Global Advocacy Council and Big Data Commission

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is upon us. It will inevitably form a central component of epilepsy workflows and patient advocacy. Therefore, it behooves us as health care providers to ride the crest of this wave and guide its direction for the benefit of all people with epilepsy.
