Tonic–clonic seizures captured during ambulatory video‐EEG are frequently unreported

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Tonic–clonic seizures (TCSs) are widely regarded as clinically obvious, yet seizure counts used for treatment decisions and risk counseling often rely on patient or caregiver diaries. We sought to quantify the frequency of unreported TCSs during prolonged ambulatory video‐EEG (vEEG) monitoring and examined associations with ...

The dynamic functional connectivity peak index: Detection of interictal epileptic activity with fMRI

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epileptogenic zone (EZ) localization is crucial for surgical treatment of patients with medication‐resistant epilepsy. Although simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can detect interictal discharges for EZ localization, clinical adoption is limited by the need for specialized ...

Effectiveness and tolerability of fenfluramine in pediatric and adult patients with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies: A multicenter, retrospective, real‐world clinical‐practice study

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are characterized by drug‐resistant seizures and developmental slowing/regression. We examined the efficacy and tolerability of fenfluramine (FFA) in pediatric and adult patients with Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS), Dravet syndrome (DS), and other DEEs.

Intermittent fasting with medium‐chain triglycerides in drug‐resistant epilepsy: A pilot crossover trial

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Ketogenic dietary therapies can reduce seizure frequency in drug‐resistant epilepsy, but adherence to the classical ketogenic diet is often poor. Intermittent fasting supplemented with medium‐chain triglycerides (MCTs) may offer a more feasible and less restrictive alternative.

Female preponderance in genetic generalized epilepsies

Seizure, 2021
Epilepsy is more prevalent in men but Genetic Generalized Epilepsies (GGE) seem to be more common in women. A predominant maternal inheritance has been previously described in GGE. Our objective was to determine sex and inheritance patterns in a GGE population compared to mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (MTLEHS).We performed a ...

Narrative review of brivaracetam for genetic generalized epilepsies

Seizure: European Journal of Epilepsy, 2022
The licensed treatment options for genetic generalized epilepsies are limited although many patients with these conditions require chronic pharmacological management with antiseizure medications and there are no curative surgical treatment options. Brivaracetam is being studied as a new therapeutic option for genetic generalized epilepsies.In order to ...

Genetic Generalized Epilepsies

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2012
In the International League Against Epilepsy's most recent revision of classification and terminology, the term idiopathic epilepsy, previously used to describe those epilepsies whose cause was unknown, but presumed genetic, has been removed. It has been replaced by the term genetic epilepsy, only to be used to describe epilepsy in which the etiology ...
