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 ...

Ictal Patterns in Generalized Epilepsy

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 1993
Ictal EEG may be of great benefit in facilitating accurate classification of the underlying seizure disorder in some patients and thus guiding further investigation and management. Ictal recordings in patients with generalized epilepsies are protean in their manifestations and yet may have considerable overlap.

Pharmacotherapy of idiopathic generalized epilepsies

Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 2008
Idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGE) represent about 20% of all epilepsies, are genetically determined and comprise several subgroups of syndromes. Although complete seizure control is achievable in about 80% of patients with IGE syndromes, a substantial group remains with inadequate control and unsatisfactory long-term outcome.

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

Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsies of Adolescence

Epilepsia, 2006
Summary:  The prevalence of idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs) has been assessed as being 15–20% of all epilepsies. The seizure types in IGEs are typical absences, myoclonic jerks, and generalized tonic–clonic seizures (TCS), alone or in varying combinations and with variable severity.

Seizures of Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsies

Epilepsia, 2005
Summary:  Idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs) comprise at least 40% of epilepsies in the United States, 20% in Mexico, and 8% in Central America. Here, we review seizure phenotypes across IGE syndromes, their response to treatment and advances in molecular genetics that influence nosology. Our review included the Medline database from 1945 to 2005

Understanding ictogenesis in generalized epilepsies

Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 2014
Generalized seizures are defined by bilateral symmetric and synchronous epileptiform EEG discharge over the entire convexity and commonly thought to involve the entire brain homogeneously. The characteristic 3-3.5 Hz Spike-and-Wave pattern is conceived as a resonance phenomenon originating in a cortico-thalamic circuit where it can start at variable ...

Is Generic Prescribing Acceptable in Epilepsy?

Drug Safety, 2000
There is considerable debate about the role of generic prescribing for people with epilepsy. The arguments go beyond simple considerations of cost on one hand and the possibility of toxicity or loss of seizure control on the other. The concepts of bioavailability and bioequivalence require further consideration. The measures that are currently used may

The thalamic commissure in generalized epilepsy

British Journal of Neurosurgery, 1996
In selected patients callosotomy usually dramatically improves disabling generalized epilepsy, but it also may be without any effect. This paradox might be due to the anatomical variability of the thalamic commissure, which interconnects thalamic nuclei essential to the dynamics of seizures. The commissure may be as thick as a finger or absent.

The MEG in evaluation of generalized epilepsy

Physiological Measurement, 1993
This review looks at the magnetoencephalogram (MEG) studies on generalized epilepsy starting from the first cases investigated up to the most recent contributions regarding the photoconvulsive response and the results obtained applying the template analysis.
