Frontiers in EEG as a tool for the management of pediatric epilepsy: Past, present, and future

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Electroencephalography (EEG) has evolved into an indispensable tool in pediatric epilepsy, fundamentally transforming the diagnosis, classification, and management of this condition. This review chronicles the historical journey of EEG from its groundbreaking inception to its current pivotal role in delineating distinct pediatric epilepsy ...

Epileptic drop attacks: More than just atonic seizures

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract “Drop attacks” are not officially defined by the International League Against Epilepsy. Seizures are characterized by a sudden loss of control over the trunk and posture, leading to falls and injuries, and resolving within a few seconds. Accurately diagnosing the type of seizure is usually difficult due to limitations in clinical documentation

Prenatal betamethasone–postnatal N‐methyl‐D‐aspartic acid model of spasms: Update on mechanisms and treatments

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Infantile epilepsy spasms syndrome (IESS), formerly known as infantile spasms or West Syndrome, is a severe epilepsy syndrome affecting about 3 in 10,000 newborns in the United States. Characterized by clusters of epileptic spasms, interictal hypsarrhythmia, and developmental delays, IESS has diverse causes, including structural‐metabolic ...

De Novo Mutations in SLC1A2 and CACNA1A Are Important Causes of Epileptic Encephalopathies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Epileptic encephalopathies (EEs) are the most clinically important group of severe early-onset epilepsies. Next-generation sequencing has highlighted the crucial contribution of de novo mutations to the genetic architecture of EEs as well as to their ...

The multiple hit model of infantile and epileptic spasms: The 2025 update

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Infantile and epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy manifesting with epileptic spasms and poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. There is an urgent need for the development of more effective and tolerated therapies.

Neurodevelopmental features in KCNQ2 developmental and epileptic encephalopathy may have limited associations with KV7.2 dysfunction

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Variants in KCNQ2 encoding the voltage‐gated potassium channel KV7.2 are associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) of varying severity. This study examined the relationship of KCNQ2 variant dysfunction with the neurodevelopmental phenotype of individuals with KCNQ2‐DEE. Methods A parent‐reported survey gathered

A model of symptomatic infantile spasms syndrome

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2010
Infantile spasms are characterized by age-specific expression of epileptic spasms and hypsarrhythmia and often result in significant cognitive impairment. Other epilepsies or autism often ensue especially in symptomatic IS (SIS).

Prevalence and incidence of infantile epileptic spasms syndrome in India: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy of infantile onset. While epidemiological data from Western countries and global estimates are available, consolidated evidence on the burden of IESS in India remains limited.
