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 ...

Pharmacotherapy of idiopathic generalized epilepsies

Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 2008
Idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGE) represent about 20% of all epilepsies, are genetically determined and comprise several subgroups of syndromes. Although complete seizure control is achievable in about 80% of patients with IGE syndromes, a substantial group remains with inadequate control and unsatisfactory long-term outcome.

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 ...

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 ...

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

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

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.
