Symptomatic Epilepsies Imitating Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsies

Epilepsia, 2005
Summary:  The diagnosis of idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs) is not generally difficult if one follows the clinical and electroencephalogram (EEG) definitions of each subsyndrome that constitutes IGEs. In contrast, symptomatic epilepsies develop based on organic brain lesions and are easily diagnosed by the presence of developmental delay ...

Pre- and post-dormitum epilepsies: Idiopathic generalized epilepsies

Sleep Medicine, 2011
Epilepsy and sleep have a profound bidirectional influence. Idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) comprises a fascinating group of syndromes that constitute nearly one-third of all epilepsies. These syndromes are genetically determined and affect otherwise normal people of both sexes and all races.

Feline generalized penicillin epilepsy

The Italian Journal of Neurological Sciences, 1995
Feline generalized penicillin epilepsy represents an experimental model of generalized spike-and-wave discharges occurring during clinical absence attacks. Spike-and-wave discharges of feline generalized penicillin epilepsy also have a pharmacological profile that is similar to that encountered in human absence attacks.

Generic prescribing in epilepsy

Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, 2009
Most NHS prescriptions for medicines are written generically.1 However, there are controversies around generic prescribing in epilepsy, with many specialists believing that changing the supply of an antiepileptic risks reduced seizure control or unwanted effects.2,3 Here we review the evidence and other issues around generic prescribing of medicines ...

Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy - a generalized epilepsy syndrome?

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2005
Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) has been classified as a syndrome of idiopathic generalized epilepsy and is characterized by specific types of seizures, showing a lack of pathology using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography scanning.

Drug-resistant generalized epilepsies: Revisiting the frontiers of idiopathic generalized epilepsies

Revue Neurologique
The 2017 International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) classification suggested that the term "genetic generalized epilepsies" (GGEs) should be used for the broad group of epilepsies with so-called "generalized" seizure types and "generalized" spike-wave activity on EEG, based on a presumed genetic etiology. Within this framework, idiopathic generalized

Genetic generalized epilepsy

2016
This chapter provides an overview of generalized epilepsies (GGE), which comprises a group of epilepsy syndromes of presumed genetic origin. They are classified into several syndromes according to their age, depending on clinical manifestation and associated electroencephalogram (EEG) features.

Idiopathic generalized epilepsies

2011
There is often disagreement about what constitutes "epileptogenesis" and what is meant by "symptomatic epilepsy". In considering various mechanistic hypotheses, investigators have often divided potential participants in epileptogenesis into two categories: changes that are a direct result of the insult and serve to initiate the epileptogenic process ...
