Human absence epilepsies

1992
A historical review of the concept of absence seizures. Their clinical features are very suggestive but a diagnosis made solely on clinical grounds is not always safe. Comparable pitfalls exist in the interpretation of EEG patterns. Absence seizures belong to several epileptic syndromes. They are briefly described.

The outcome of absence epilepsy

Neurology, 1996
We performed a meta-analysis of studies on absence epilepsy (AE) to ascertain whether the outcome of this well-defined type of epilepsy can be stated unequivocally. Using the Index Medicus and Medline CD+, we identified 1,619 publications. After applying the criteria of the International League against Epilepsy (ILAE) for AE, 26 publications on 23 ...

Thalamic stimulation in absence epilepsy

Epilepsy Research, 2013
The site specific effects of two different types of electrical stimulation of the thalamus on electroencephalic epileptic activity as generated in the cortico-thalamo-cortical system were investigated in genetic epileptic WAG/Rij rats, a well characterized and validated absence model.First, 12 male rats received low frequency (double-pulse pairs of 2 ...

Longterm Follow-Up of Childhood Epilepsy with Absences - I. Epilepsy with Absences at Onset

Neuropediatrics, 1985
The purpose of the follow-up study was to determine whether modern therapy with ethosuximide and/or valproate with/without phenobarbitone and its derivatives improves the longterm prognosis of absence epilepsy as compared to formerly used treatments. The patient population consisted of 194 cases (88 boys, 106 girls) with spike wave epilepsy starting ...

ABSENCE SEIZURES | Thalamocortical Synchronization and Absence Epilepsy

2009
Generalized spike-and-wave (SW) discharges are often associated with periods of impaired consciousness (i.e., withabsence seizures) and reflect thalamocortical oscillations similar to those involved in sleep spindles, but at a lowerfrequency. Both cortical and thalamic neuronal networks contribute to SWdischarge.

Focality in childhood absence epilepsy

Neurological Research
Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) has a typical electroencephalography (EEG) pattern of generalized 3 Hz spike and wave discharges (SWD). Focal interictal discharges were also documented in a small number of documents. The aim was to investigate the amplitudes of interictal 3 Hz SWD within the 1st second in drug-naïve CAE patients.

Current Advances in Childhood Absence Epilepsy

Pediatric Neurology, 2014
Childhood absence epilepsy is an age-dependent, idiopathic, generalized epilepsy with a characteristic seizure appearance. The disorder is likely to be multifactorial, resulting from interactions between genetic and acquired factors, but the debate is still open.

Electroclinical features of absence seizures in childhood absence epilepsy

Neurology, 2006
To accurately define the electroclinical features of absence seizures in children with newly diagnosed, untreated childhood absence epilepsy (CAE).The authors searched an EEG database for absence seizures in normal children with new onset untreated absence epilepsy. Seventy consecutive children were classified into IGE syndromes.

Epidemiology of Absence Epilepsy

Acta Paediatrica, 1988
ABSTRACT. An epidemiological study of absence epilepsy is presented. The study comprised a series of cases from a Swedish population, aged 0–15 years, selected on the basis of EEG criteria. All children with regular and symmetrical 3 (2–4) Hz spike‐and‐slow‐wave complexes, recorded for the first time during the period 1978–1982, were included. A total

Epilepsy wth Myoclonic Absences and Epilepsy with Eyelid Myoclonia and Absences

2016
The particular epileptic conditions outlined in this chapter are very different from each other. However, they share a similar age of onset and the presence of myoclonia. Both myoclonic absence (MA), and eyelid myoclonia with or without absence (ELMA or ELM), have a highly specifi c and recognizable video-EEG-polygraphic ictal pattern (if seen once ...
