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

Epilepsia 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 ...

Status epilepticus: Updates on mechanisms and treatments

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) consists of prolonged, self‐sustaining seizures and is a common neurological emergency that causes respiratory compromise and neuronal injury. Without prompt treatment, the seizures can become resistant to benzodiazepines, leading to the progressive evolution of established, refractory, and super‐refractory SE.

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Neonatal seizures and GABAergic drugs: Scylla and Charybdis?

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Neonates have a high incidence of seizures that are frequently difficult to control with conventional first‐line anti‐seizure medications, which are gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonists. The reasons for this clinical problem are multifold but are likely related to the unique physiology of the immature nervous system. Specifically, the early

The gut microbiome and drug‐resistant epilepsy: Microbiome–antiseizure medication interactions and implications for pharmacoresistance

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) affects approximately one‐third of patients with epilepsy and represents a major unmet clinical need. While traditional hypotheses of pharmacoresistance have focused on alterations in drug targets, efflux transporter overexpression, and intrinsic disease severity, the gut microbiome has recently emerged as a ...

Auditory gamma‐band synchronization and attentional performance in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Cognitive difficulties in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) are part of the clinical phenotype alongside epileptic seizures; however, the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms remain unclear. Auditory steady‐state responses (ASSRs) to repetitive 40‐ and 80‐Hz stimuli are widely used measures of gamma‐band oscillations (GBOs ...

Fenfluramine in Rett syndrome: A multidimensional clinical study

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Rett syndrome (RTT) is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder frequently associated with drug‐resistant epilepsy, autonomic dysfunction, respiratory abnormalities, sleep disturbances, and behavioral impairment. Fenfluramine has shown efficacy in developmental and epileptic encephalopathies and may provide broader therapeutic benefits ...
