Hypothalamic hamartomas and ictal laughter: Evolution of a characteristic epileptic syndrome and diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging

Annals of Neurology, 1988
Detailed study of 4 patients and review of the literature allowed us to delineate further the epileptic syndrome associated with hypothalamic hamartomas, which characteristically begins in infancy with laughing seizures.

Drop Attacks and Epileptic Syndromes

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 1993
1. In addition to 4 types of drop attacks previously described by Ikeno et al., we could ascertain the falls of the myoclonic-tonic type in genuine drop attacks. The genuine drop attacks were seen in Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, epilepsy with myoclonic-astatic seizures and other symptomatic generalized epilepsies, and never in partial epilepsies. 2.

Neuropathology of the chronic epileptic syndrome induced by intrahippocampal tetanus toxin in rat: preservation of pyramidal cells and incidence of dark cells

Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, 1992
A few nanograms of tetanus toxin injected into a rat hippocampus causes a chronic epileptic syndrome characterized by brief seizures that recur intermittently for about 6 weeks.

Sex hormones, gonadotropins and prolactin in male epileptic subjects in remission: role of the epileptic syndrome and of antiepileptic drugs.

Neuropsychobiology, 1994
Sex steroid peripheral pattern, pulsatile luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion, gonadotropin and prolactin responses to LH-releasing hormone (LHRH) and thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) were studied in 35 male epileptics treated with phenobarbital (PB ...

Seizure Types and Epileptic Syndromes

European Neurology, 1994
The main epileptic syndromes occurring during brain maturation, i.e. during the neonatal period, infancy, childhood and adolescence, are reviewed. The concept of epileptic syndromes is of pragmatic significance and helps the physician to select appropriate modes of investigation, to predict the outcome and to choose the treatment of first choice.

Hypnic Tonic Postural Seizures in Healthy Children Provide Evidence for a Partial Epileptic Syndrome of Frontal Lobe Origin

Epilepsia, 1993
Summary: In the pediatric age period, three idiopathic partial epileptic syndromes are recognized: benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes, childhood epilepsy with occipital paroxysms, and primary reading epilepsy.

Epileptic Syndromes and Their Classification

2017
The recognition of epileptic syndromes is the most important milestone in modern epileptology because it allows accurate diagnosis and management of epilepsy. An epileptic syndrome, is a complex of clinical features, signs, and symptoms that together define a distinctive, recognizable clinical disorder. There are many types of epileptic syndromes which
