Extent of EEG monitoring for detecting epileptic spasms

Seizure, 2022
Epileptic spasms (ES) are the ictal manifestation of West syndrome. Due to poor interrater reliability in diagnosing hypsarrhythmia, identification of ES - ideally on video EEG monitoring - is important to start proper treatment.We retrospectively analyzed inpatient video EEG recordings of 42 patients with new onset ES and calculated the time needed to

Evolution of Surgical Management for Intractable Epileptic Spasms

Seminars in Pediatric Neurology, 2020
The understanding and management of epileptic spasms has considerably evolved since the mid 19th century. The realization that epileptic spasms can be generated from a focal brain lesion played a pivotal role in the development of neurosurgical management for intractable forms of this epilepsy.

Adjunctive perampanel therapy for patients with epileptic spasms

Pediatrics International, 2022
AbstractBackgroundPerampanel is an antiepileptic drug. Some studies have documented the efficacy of perampanel in epileptic spasms. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjunctive perampanel therapy (PT) in patients with epileptic spasms.MethodsWe retrospectively surveyed the efficacy and safety of adjunctive PT in 14 patients with epileptic
