Natural evolution from idiopathic photosensitive occipital lobe epilepsy to idiopathic generalized epilepsy in an untreated young patient

, 2014
Idiopathic photosensitive occipital lobe epilepsy (IPOE) is an idiopathic localization-related epilepsy characterized by age-related onset, specific mode of precipitation, occipital photic-induced seizures frequently consisting of visual symptoms and ...

Refining the electroclinical phenotype of 15q11.2 microdeletion: EEG biomarker overlap with Angelman syndrome

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract The 15q11.2 microdeletion is a chromosomal condition associated with a broad epileptic phenotype. It is differentiated from Angelman syndrome, which is typically a larger maternal deletion in an overlapping area. We describe a patient with a 15q11.2 microdeletion that has clinical and EEG biomarker features similar to those seen in Angelman ...

Mutations in the CLCN2 gene are a rare cause of idiopathic generalized epilepsy syndromes.

, 2006
Mutations in the chloride channel gene CLCN2 have been reported in families with generalized and focal epilepsy syndromes. To evaluate the contribution of mutations in the CLCN2 gene to the etiology of epilepsies in our population, we screened 96 ...

Epilepsy outcomes with immediateand extended-release levetiracetam in idiopathic generalized seizures [PDF]

Romanian Journal of Neurology
Idiopathic generalized epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizure attacks associated with sudden loss of consciousness. Seizures may present as generalized tonic-clonic or myoclonic episodes and require long-term antiseizure ...

Occipital irregular delta activity in focal epilepsy

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Nonspecific occipital irregular delta activity (OID) is a common finding in focal epilepsy (FE). However, the significance of OID and its relationship to the underlying etiology of FE remain largely unstudied. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between OID and the etiology of FE, as well as the relationship between OID ...

Semiology of functional/dissociative seizures in idiopathic generalized epilepsy: An inpatient video-electroencephalographic study. [PDF]

Epilepsia
Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to estimate the prevalence and characterize the semiology of co‐occurring functional/dissociative seizures (FDSs) and identify clinical features potentially associated with the development of video‐electroencephalography (video‐EEG)‐diagnosed FDSs in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE ...

Prevalence and characteristics of visual aura in idiopathic generalized epilepsy

, 2012
Some patients with idiopathic/genetic generalized epilepsy (IGE) experience visual aura, which can confuse the diagnosis. We sought to determine the frequency and characteristics of visual auras in IGE patients.

The effectiveness of adding on or switching antiseizure medications after the first fails to control focal epilepsy: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Focal epilepsy constitutes 60–70% of epilepsy, and up to half of patients do not achieve seizure freedom with their first antiseizure medication (ASM). When the first ASM fails, evidence guiding whether to switch or add‐on another ASM and which ASMs to use is limited. This review synthesized evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on

Reflex seizures and epilepsy surgery: A network approach case‐based exploration

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Context Reflex seizures (RS) are defined by their consistent provocation by specific stimuli, encompassing a broad range from elementary sensory inputs to complex cognitive tasks. While RS are often encountered in clinical practice, their surgical management remains sparsely reported and poorly systematized.
