Bone in idiopathic and symptomatic epilepsy

Epilepsy Research, 2008
Bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced in epilepsy and may underlie the observed increased fracture rate. Non-ambulatory patients have reduced BMD, although, it is not clear if normally weight bearing ambulatory patients are similarly vulnerable.Cross-sectional study examining age- and gender-specific z-score total bone mineral density (z-BMD) in 116 ...

ANGIOGRAPHY IN "IDIOPATHIC" FOCAL EPILEPSY

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1972
Carotid angiograms of 33 patients with "idiopathic" focal epilepsy were analyzed with the help of the Ring-Waddington template.Abnormalities, particularly occlusions of small branches of the middle cerebral artery, were found in 8 (24.2 per cent) cases.Although these results show a lower incidence of positive findings than previously reported, we feel ...

Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsies Imitating Focal Epilepsies

Epilepsia, 2005
Summary:  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, 2005
Summary:  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 ...

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

Idiopathic hypoparathyroidism with epilepsy and psychosis

Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1986
A case of idiopathic hypoparathyroidism associated with epilepsy, psychosis and elevated creatinine kinase is presented. Achievement of normocalcaemia was associated with a positive clinical response. In the evaluation of idiopathic hypoparathyroidism, it is important to be aware of its variable clinical presentation.

The management of idiopathic generalized epilepsies

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2005
Idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs) are a well defined group of epilepsies, with onset predominantly in childhood. Recent evidence suggests that IGEs may also be prevalent but under-diagnosed in adults. IGEs respond well to appropriate treatment and 80-90% of cases become fully controlled.

Seizures of Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsies

Epilepsia, 2005
Summary:  Idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs) comprise at least 40% of epilepsies in the United States, 20% in Mexico, and 8% in Central America. Here, we review seizure phenotypes across IGE syndromes, their response to treatment and advances in molecular genetics that influence nosology. Our review included the Medline database from 1945 to 2005

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

Idiopathic Epilepsy in Dogs and Cats

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2010
Idiopathic epilepsy is the most common brain disease in dogs and also occurs in cats. Optimal management entails an accurate diagnosis and appropriate drug therapy. In dogs, either phenobarbital or bromide is appropriate as initial therapy. Phenobarbital is the drug of choice for cats. Several other drugs including zonisamide and levetiracetam have the
