Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Genetic epilepsies with myoclonic seizures: Mechanisms and syndromes
Abstract Genetic epilepsy with myoclonic seizures encompasses a heterogeneous spectrum of conditions, ranging from benign and self‐limiting forms to severe, progressive disorders. While their causes are diverse, a significant proportion stems from genetic abnormalities.

Defining the end point of status epilepticus: A scoping review and framework for standardization
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) is a life‐threatening neurological emergency with consensus‐driven definitions for onset but no standardized criteria for its end point. This gap creates uncertainty in research and clinical practice. We conducted a scoping review to evaluate how end points have been defined in SE research and to identify key areas of ...

Neuroinflammation in GAD65 Antibody‐Associated Epilepsy Measured Using [18F]DPA‐714 PET/MRI
ABSTRACT The timing for initiating immunotherapy in patients with glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) antibody‐associated epilepsy is a challenge. We used the translocator protein radioligand [18F]DPA‐714 and PET to evaluate brain microglial activation.

The epileptologist's perspective of focal cortical dysplasia type 3: From concept to management
Abstract The recent International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) official and updated classification of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) includes a third type—FCD type 3—characterized by architectural abnormalities (cortical dyslamination) associated with another “principal” lesion: hippocampal sclerosis (HS), developmental tumors, vascular malformations,

Electroclinical Dissociation in Generalized Epilepsy: A Video‐EEG Case From Sub‐Saharan Africa
Introduction Functional neurological symptoms, specifically functional dissociative seizures (FDS), frequently coexist with epilepsy and pose severe diagnostic challenges, particularly in resource‐limited settings where video‐electroencephalography (video‐EEG) access is scarce.
