GENERALIZED HYPERHIDROSIS FOLLOWING EPILEPSY

British Journal of Dermatology, 1971
SUMMARY.— A case is reported of the sudden development in an elderly woman of severe generalized hyperhidrosis, precipitated by heat, emotion and the ingestion of warm drinks. The abnormal sweating followed within a few days of the onset of epilepsy, and it is suggested that the hyperhidrosis may have followed a small cerebrovascular accident in the ...

The electroencephalogram of idiopathic generalized epilepsy

Epilepsia, 2011
SummaryIdiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) is classified into several subsyndromes based on clinical and electroencephalography (EEG) features. The EEG signature of IGE is bisynchronous, symmetric, and generalized spike‐wave complex; although focal, irregular, and so called “fragments” of discharges are not uncommon. Other characteristic EEG features

Drug-resistant generalized epilepsies: Revisiting the frontiers of idiopathic generalized epilepsies

Revue Neurologique
The 2017 International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) classification suggested that the term "genetic generalized epilepsies" (GGEs) should be used for the broad group of epilepsies with so-called "generalized" seizure types and "generalized" spike-wave activity on EEG, based on a presumed genetic etiology. Within this framework, idiopathic generalized

Understanding ictogenesis in generalized epilepsies

Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 2014
Generalized seizures are defined by bilateral symmetric and synchronous epileptiform EEG discharge over the entire convexity and commonly thought to involve the entire brain homogeneously. The characteristic 3-3.5 Hz Spike-and-Wave pattern is conceived as a resonance phenomenon originating in a cortico-thalamic circuit where it can start at variable ...

Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsies of Adolescence

Epilepsia, 2006
Summary:  The prevalence of idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs) has been assessed as being 15–20% of all epilepsies. The seizure types in IGEs are typical absences, myoclonic jerks, and generalized tonic–clonic seizures (TCS), alone or in varying combinations and with variable severity.

The MEG in evaluation of generalized epilepsy

Physiological Measurement, 1993
This review looks at the magnetoencephalogram (MEG) studies on generalized epilepsy starting from the first cases investigated up to the most recent contributions regarding the photoconvulsive response and the results obtained applying the template analysis.

Is Generic Prescribing Acceptable in Epilepsy?

Drug Safety, 2000
There is considerable debate about the role of generic prescribing for people with epilepsy. The arguments go beyond simple considerations of cost on one hand and the possibility of toxicity or loss of seizure control on the other. The concepts of bioavailability and bioequivalence require further consideration. The measures that are currently used may

Photosensitivity in Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsies

Epilepsia, 2005
Summary:  Photosensitivity is an abnormal visual sensitivity of the brain in reaction to flickering light sources or patterns and is expressed in the electroencephalogram as generalized spike‐and‐wave discharge and in more susceptible individuals as clinical seizures. The most common types of seizures are generalized tonic‐clonic, followed by myoclonic

Pathomorphosis of idiopathic generalized epilepsies

Zhurnal nevrologii i psikhiatrii im. S.S. Korsakova, 2019
To study the pathomorphosis of idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGE) in a large population of adult patients with long-term follow-up.The study involved 1480 patients with epilepsy, including 281 patients with IGE.In 26 patients with childhood absence epilepsy (CAE), age-related changes in disease course have been particularly pronounced. None of the
