Idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGE) are characterized by normal background EEG activity and generalized interictal spike-and-wave discharges in the absence of any evidence of brain lesion. Absence epilepsies are the prototypes of IGEs. In childhood and juvenile absence epilepsies, by definition, all patients manifest absence seizures associated ...

Idiopathic generalized epilepsies
2013Idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs) may start in infancy, childhood, or adolescence, but some have an onset in adulthood. They are genetically determined and affect otherwise healthy people of both sexes and all races, and are generally lifelong. Some, however, are age related. IGEs account for nearly a third of all epilepsies.

Is There Such a Thing as “Generalized” Epilepsy?
2014The distinction between generalized and partial epilepsies is probably one, if not the most, pregnant assertions in modern epileptology. Both absence and generalized tonic-clonic seizures, the prototypic seizures found in generalized epilepsies, are classically seen as the result of a rapid, synchronous recruitment of neuronal networks resulting in ...

Idiopathic generalized epilepsies
2012Abstract The idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs) are a spectrum of epilepsy syndromes that are characterized by seizures of generalized onset, and by known or presumed genetic etiology. These syndromes occur frequently in adults and children aged above 2 years.

Generic prescribing in epilepsy
Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, 2009Most NHS prescriptions for medicines are written generically.1 However, there are controversies around generic prescribing in epilepsy, with many specialists believing that changing the supply of an antiepileptic risks reduced seizure control or unwanted effects.2,3 Here we review the evidence and other issues around generic prescribing of medicines ...

Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy - a generalized epilepsy syndrome?
Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2005Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) has been classified as a syndrome of idiopathic generalized epilepsy and is characterized by specific types of seizures, showing a lack of pathology using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography scanning.

Pre- and post-dormitum epilepsies: Idiopathic generalized epilepsies
Sleep Medicine, 2011Epilepsy and sleep have a profound bidirectional influence. Idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) comprises a fascinating group of syndromes that constitute nearly one-third of all epilepsies. These syndromes are genetically determined and affect otherwise normal people of both sexes and all races.

Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsies Imitating Focal Epilepsies
Epilepsia, 2005Summary: Classification of epileptic seizures and epilepsy syndromes as either focal or generalized is a fundamental and early part in the diagnostic process and is generally fairly easily accomplished. However, in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsies, seizure and EEG features may suggest, particularly to the unwary, the occurrence of focal

Symptomatic Epilepsies Imitating Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsies
Epilepsia, 2005Summary: The diagnosis of idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs) is not generally difficult if one follows the clinical and electroencephalogram (EEG) definitions of each subsyndrome that constitutes IGEs. In contrast, symptomatic epilepsies develop based on organic brain lesions and are easily diagnosed by the presence of developmental delay ...
