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

Idiopathic generalized epilepsies

2013
Idiopathic 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.

Idiopathic generalized epilepsies

2012
Abstract 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.

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.

Idiopathic generalized epilepsy

Neurology, 2000
The idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGE) are classically regarded as due to a functional abnormality. However, microscopic microdysgenetic changes have been reported in the majority of cases by one group.To independently evaluate the microscopic microdysgenetic changes in a controlled, blinded study.Five brains with IGE and five age-matched control ...

Genetic Polymorphisms and Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsies

Pediatric Neurology, 2007
In recent years, progress in understanding the genetic basis of idiopathic generalized epilepsies has proven challenging because of their complex inheritance patterns and genetic heterogeneity. Genetic polymorphisms offer a convenient avenue for a better understanding of the genetic basis of idiopathic generalized epilepsy by providing evidence for the

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.

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.

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
