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. None of the

Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsies

2017
Syndromes of idiopathic generalized epilepsy manifest with typical absences, myoclonic jerks and generalized tonic clonic seizures. A patient may have only one of these types of seizure but others may have a combination of two or all of them depending on syndrome. Patients are typically otherwise normal and have no anatomical brain abnormalities.

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

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.

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.

Refractory Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy

Abstract Patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) who continue to have seizures despite treatment with appropriate antiseizure medications (ASMs) should undergo additional testing with video-electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring to confirm the diagnosis; focal epileptiform discharges with rapid bisynchrony can be mistaken for ...

Nonepileptic Disorders Imitating Generalized Idiopathic Epilepsies

Epilepsia, 2005
Summary: Differential diagnosis between epileptic and nonepileptic paroxysmal disorders is fundamental not only to allow correct management of patients but also to avoid the burden of unnecessary antiepileptic medication. The focus of this chapter is limited to imitators of idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGE) which are expressed through myoclonic ...

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.
