Steroids in childhood epilepsy

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2006
Treatment of epileptic encephalopathies can be very challenging as most anticonvulsant drugs fail to achieve good seizure control. Steroids are disease modifying as well as anticonvulsant in these conditions.

Genetic landscape of patients with atypical absence status epilepticus: A systematic review

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Atypical absence status epilepticus (AASE) is a rare subtype of nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE), characterized by clouding of consciousness and continuous or fluctuating epileptiform activity, generally at a frequency below 3 Hz. Only sparse literature exists on the genetic conditions associated with it.

Progressive myoclonus epilepsy in Down syndrome with Alzheimer's disease: An 11‐year longitudinal study and proposed diagnostic red flags

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) face an ultra‐high risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Within this continuum, Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy (PME) has emerged as a marker of advanced neurodegeneration. Building on our 2014 characterization of this syndrome, we aimed to define its long‐term natural history and pathological substrate.

Fast sleep spindles as a potential prognostic marker of developmental outcome in infantile epileptic spasms syndrome

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The presence or absence of sleep spindles in patients with infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) has been proposed as a potential predictor of cognitive outcome; however, the validity of this predictor remains uncertain.

Real‐world outcomes of responsive neurostimulation in patients with Lennox–Gastaut syndrome: A multicenter retrospective study

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) characterized by multiple seizure types and high resistance to antiseizure medication (ASM), often necessitating nonpharmacologic therapies, including neuromodulation.

Ketogenic diet therapy for children with super‐refractory status epilepticus in intensive care: International clinical practice recommendations

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective We aimed to create practical recommendations to support healthcare teams starting ketogenic diet therapy (KDT) for children with super‐refractory status epilepticus in intensive care settings. Methods A literature review was conducted to extract published data on patient selection, diet prescription, diet initiation, monitoring, fine‐

Cannabidiol reduces atypical absence seizures and epileptic spasms in a Gabrb3+/D120N mouse model of Lennox–Gastaut syndrome

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a drug‐resistant developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). Preclinical drug development for LGS is constrained by a lack of syndrome‐relevant animal models. We aimed to evaluate a Gabrb3+/D120N knock‐in (KI) mouse model of LGS by quantifying atypical absence seizures and epileptic spasms and ...

Smartphone videos for infantile epileptic spasms triaging and assessment (VISTA study): Impact of education and standardized clinical history on diagnostic accuracy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Diagnostic and treatment delays in infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) increase the risk of poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. Early clinical recognition of IESS is essential, especially in regions lacking expedited access to electroencephalograms (EEG).

Characteristics and long‐term outcomes of children with confirmed focal cortical dysplasia type 1 after epilepsy surgery: A population‐based study

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Focal cortical dysplasia type 1 (FCD1) is a rare and heterogeneous cause of drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) in children. Its clinical characteristics remain poorly understood, and surgical outcomes may be less favorable than in FCD2. We conducted a population‐based study to characterize the clinical presentation and long‐term seizure ...
