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 ...

Pre- and post-dormitum epilepsies: Idiopathic generalized epilepsies

Sleep Medicine, 2011
Epilepsy 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

2011
There is often disagreement about what constitutes "epileptogenesis" and what is meant by "symptomatic epilepsy". In considering various mechanistic hypotheses, investigators have often divided potential participants in epileptogenesis into two categories: changes that are a direct result of the insult and serve to initiate the epileptogenic process ...

The cognitive phenotype of idiopathic generalized epilepsy

Epilepsy & Behavior, 2018
Dysexecutive traits have been described in idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE), but studies mainly focused on juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME). To better understand the neuropsychology of IGE, more research is needed on syndromes other than JME, controlling potential confounding factors as the cognitive effects of valproate and epileptic discharges (

Genetics of idiopathic generalized epilepsy: An overview

Neurology India, 2013
Idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) is a common type of epilepsy. Strong support for a genetic role in IGE comes from twin and family studies. Several subtypes of IGE have been reported but families often have members affected with different subtypes.

Auras are frequent in idiopathic generalized epilepsy

Neurology, 2006
The occurrence of an aura is often considered evidence of a partial rather than an idiopathic generalized epilepsy syndrome. The authors examined this hypothesis by prospectively recording reports of auras by patients being admitted for video-EEG monitoring.

Brain Imaging in Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsies

Epilepsia, 2005
Summary:  While it is generally accepted that there is no neuroimaging abnormality in idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE), image processing and quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies suggest that there may be subtle structural abnormalities.

Relationships within the idiopathic generalized epilepsies

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 1997
The relationships between the various epileptic syndromes, which comprise the idiopathic generalized epilepsies that commence after infancy, were explored in 451 patients by comparing the incidences of various clinical and electroencephalographic features in subsets of the patients, determined primarily by their clinical patterns of seizure phenomena ...

Idiopathic generalized epilepsies with typical absences

Journal of Neurology, 1997
Idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) comprises several subsyndromes. These are principally: benign neonatal familial convulsions, benign neonatal convulsions, benign myoclonic epilepsy in infancy, childhood absence epilepsy, juvenile absence epilepsy, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, epilepsy with generalised tonic-clonic seizures on awakening.
