Epilepsia Partialis Continua After an Anterior Circulation Ischaemic Stroke [PDF]
Background and purpose: Although cerebrovascular disorders are the main cause of epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) in adulthood, the frequency of EPC after stroke is unknown. The aim was to prospectively ascertain its frequency 1 year after an ischaemic

Seminars in epileptology: How to diagnose status epilepticus in adults and children
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) can be regarded as the most severe expression of seizure activity characterized by a low probability of spontaneous cessation and mechanisms leading to metabolic and inflammatory derangements with increased risk of brain damage, alterations of neural networks, and potentially life‐threatening systemic complications ...

Abstract The ILAE Neuroimaging Task Force aims to publish educational case reports that highlight basic aspects of neuroimaging in epilepsy consistent with the ILAE's educational mission. Here, we describe a case series of three neonates with focal cortical dysplasia (FCD)‐related drug‐resistant epilepsy who underwent surgical intervention. The purpose

A 60-year-old woman presented with continuous jerking of the right foot and hallux persisting for more than two days. She had a 9-year history of epilepsy due to a left temporoparietal oligodendroglioma with occasional focal ...

Longitudinal PET and MRI Evaluation in Late Onset Rasmussen Encephalitis: A Series of Three Cases
ABSTRACT Background Rasmussen's encephalitis (RE) is a rare, chronic, neurological disorder characterized by progressive focal epilepsy and hemispheric atrophy. Late‐onset RE poses diagnostic challenges due to atypical clinical features and nonspecific early MRI findings.

Abstract Objective Neuromodulation for pediatric refractory epilepsy (PRE) is preferred when the seizure onset zone is not amenable to surgical resection, due to multifocal onset or involvement of eloquent cortex. Given its rapidly evolving landscape, we describe our institutional experience with neurostimulation therapies including deep brain ...

Prognostic significance of acute epilepsia partialis continua [PDF]
We present 3 patients in whom epilepsia partialis continua was the presenting sign of an acute, rapidly evolving and catastrophic neurologic illness. Initial seizures were partial simple (i.e., eye deviation in one, finger twitching in one) which progressed to multifocal partial seizures.
