Functional Partial Epilepsies in Childhood

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 1986
Abstract: Out of the 314 children with partial epilepsies below the age of 15 who had been followed for more than 5 years, 122 children with functional partial epilepsies (FPE) were the subjects of this study. The specific modality of interictal EEG findings reminiscent of that of the Rolandic spikes (Dalla Bernardina, 1982, 1984) was compared between

Genetics of human partial epilepsy

Current Opinion in Neurology, 1997
A minor genetic predisposition to partial epilepsy has been long recognized. Recently, a group of idiopathic partial epilepsies with autosomal dominant inheritance has been identified. The clinical features and molecular genetic findings in these epilepsies are outlined in the present review.

Valproate in the Treatment of Partial Epilepsies

Epilepsia, 1994
Summary: Review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) shows that valproate (VPA) is effective against partial seizures with or without becoming secondarily generalized. A number of RCTs show little difference in the efficacy of VPA and carbamazepine in this patient group, particularly where patients are randomized at the time of diagnosis. The length

Preictal headache in partial epilepsy

Neurology, 2005
The authors studied clinical characteristics in 11 patients with intractable focal epilepsy and preictal headache (PIHA) using a standardized interview. Headache was frontotemporal, ipsilateral to the focus, in nine patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and contralateral in one with TLE and in one with frontal seizures.

Hereditary Factors in Partial Epilepsy

Epilepsia, 1969
SUMMARYIn an effort to characterize the hereditary factors in the non‐generalized epilepsies, a study was made of 51 cases of partial epileptic seizures occurring in subjects whose family included at least one other epileptic. It was possible to classify these cases into five groups, viz.: A group of 15 cases characterized by mid‐childhood epilepsy ...

Epilepsy (partial).

BMJ clinical evidence, 2016
About 3% of people will be diagnosed with epilepsy during their lifetime, but about 70% of people with epilepsy eventually go into remission.We conducted a systematic review and aimed to answer the following clinical questions: What are the effects of starting antiepileptic drug treatment following a single seizure?

The Benign Partial Nonrolandic Epilepsies

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 1991
Although rolandic epilepsy is the only epileptic syndrome that, at present, fully meets all the criteria of benignity and is widely recognized as such, there are also other forms of partial epilepsy that are benign. These are also genetically determined and age-dependent, occurring in neurologically intact children older than 18 months of age.

Diagnosis of partial epilepsy in a goat

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1987
A seizure disorder of 4.5 years' duration in a 6-year-old female Nubian goat was diagnosed as partial epilepsy on the basis of history, focal electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormalities, convulsive response to ketamine, and necropsy findings. The goat appeared to maintain consciousness during her seizures.

Epilepsies With Partial Seizures in Childhood

Journal of Child Neurology, 1997
Individual seizures are described as either partial (localization related) or generalized depending on whether a localized area of cerebral cortex is symptomatically involved sufficient to impart to the seizure a focal signature or whether sufficient cortex is involved sufficiently rapidly to appear as if generalized from the outset.

Multimodality imaging in partial epilepsies

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2004
The rapid expansion of novel applications and the development of new techniques in structural and functional imaging modalities present a troubling challenge to keep up with and harness potential valuable information created in this critical field of epilepsy localization and non-invasive in-vivo research.Recent advances in epilepsy imaging have ...
