Cortical involvement in focal epilepsies with epileptic spasms

Epilepsy Research, 2014
The pathophysiological mechanisms of epileptic spasms are still poorly understood. The role of subcortical structures has been suggested on the basis of non-localized EEG features and from experimental data. The description of asymmetric spasms associated with lateralized EEG patterns has challenged this view and raises the possibility of a cortical ...

Are Epileptic Spasms a Seizure Type for the Insular Region?

Neuropediatrics, 2020
AbstractTwo patients with insular and striatal postnatal scar had epileptic spasms (ES) that were asymmetrical and the only seizure type, whereas none of the usual ictal symptoms of insular seizures occurred. Ictal electroencephalography (EEG) showed the high-amplitude slow-wave characteristic of ES.

Epileptic spasms in clusters without hypsarrhythmia

Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy, 2015
Here we present an update of the electroclinical features and evolution of patients with epileptic spasms (ES) in clusters without hypsarrhythmia, with or without focal or generalized paroxysmal discharges on the interictal electroencephalography (EEG).

Epileptic Spasms: A Variety of Etiologies and Associated Syndromes

Journal of Child Neurology, 2008
Epileptic spasms have been described as a paroxysmal epileptic seizure type that consists of a series of motor movements, involving sudden flexion or extension predominantly of axial and/or proximal limb muscles, occurring with a noticeable periodicity, outside the age of infantile spasms, but have otherwise not been well characterized or described ...

Characterization of ictal slow waves in epileptic spasmsCharacterization of ictal slow waves in epileptic spasms

Epileptic Disorders, 2015
AbstractWe characterized the clinico‐neurophysiological features of epileptic spasms, particularly focusing on high‐voltage slow waves during ictal EEG. We studied 22 patients with epileptic spasms recorded during digital video‐scalp EEG, including five individuals who still had persistent spasms after callosotomy.

Epileptic spasms without hypsarrhythmia in infancy and childhood: tonic spasms as a seizure type

Epileptic Disorders, 2015
AbstractEpileptic spasms were defined by the International League Against Epilepsy Task Force on Classification and Terminology in 2001 as a specific seizure type. Epileptic spasms without hypsarrhythmia have been described in some series of patients, occurring either in infancy or childhood.

Clinical Spectrum of Epileptic Spasms Associated with Cortical Malformation

Neuropediatrics, 2001
The spectrum of clinico-electrical characteristics of epileptic spasms associated with cortical malformation was studied in detail. The subjects were 15 patients suffering from spasms and cortical malformation demonstrated by MRI. The types of cortical malformation causing spasms were various, including hemimegalencephaly, diffuse pachygyria, focal ...

Periodic Eye Movements and Epileptic Spasms in West Syndrome

Journal of Child Neurology, 2013
In addition to the typical infantile spasm symptoms, several other symptoms, such as eye movements, have been reported to be associated with infantile spasms, although the relationship between the typical spasms and these other events is not fully understood. Here we present a case with West syndrome.

Electroclinical Landscape of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome

Indian Journal of Pediatrics
To elucidate the electroclinical characteristics of infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) and to determine any potential association among these with underlying etiologies and response to therapy.Sixty-eight, treatment-naive children with IESS underwent long-term video electroencephalogram (EEG) recording, which was used to characterize the ...

Stimulus-induced reflex epileptic spasms in 5p− syndrome

Brain and Development, 2016
Here we describe two patients with 5p- syndrome who suffered from epilepsy characterised by stimulus-induced epileptic spasms manifesting as head nodding. In patient 1, a series of spasms were exclusively triggered by eating, and were associated with diffuse high-voltage slow waves on ictal EEG, particularly presenting as a positive slow potential at ...
