Historical Aspects of Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsies [PDF]

Epilepsia, 2005
Summary:  Early in these proceedings, the origin of the three terms in the title, “idiopathic generalized epilepsy,” is discussed with respect to their significance over time, and typical misunderstandings. In the mid‐20th century, a rather chaotic use of a multitude of often loosely defined terms had developed, which increasingly became an obstacle to

Comparative multicenter evaluation of thalamic neuromodulation for treatment‐resistant epilepsy in children

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Use of neuromodulation strategies targeting thalamic nuclei, including deep brain stimulation (DBS) and responsive neurostimulation (RNS), for treatment of pediatric drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) is increasing, despite limited evidence for efficacy and safety. We present the initial results from the Comparative Multicenter Evaluation

Components of generalized onset seizures with focal evolution progressing to bilateral tonic–clonic seizures using quantitative electroencephalography in children: Focal or generalized?

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures evolving to bilateral tonic–clonic seizures may have focal or asymmetric clinical features. Using quantitative electroencephalography (EEG) may evaluate this phenomenon and the involved neuronal network. We conducted a retrospective chart review of pediatric patients with generalized epilepsy and normal brain magnetic ...

Incidence rate of different forms of idiopathic childhood focal epilepsy

Эпилепсия и пароксизмальные состояния, 2016
The structure of idiopathic focal forms of epilepsy was investigated on 1118 patients with diagnosis of epilepsy, and aged from the first days of life to 18 years. Their age enabled to monitor the debut of seizures.

Generalized spike–waves in idiopathic generalized epilepsies: Does their frequency matter?

Brain and Behavior
Objectives We hypothesized that the frequency (in Hertz) of generalized spike–waves (GSWs) in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) has associations with the syndromic diagnosis as well as with the prognosis of patients (their response to ...

Epilepsy syndromes classification

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy syndromes are distinct electroclinical entities which have been recently defined by the International League Against Epilepsy Nosology and Definitions Task Force. Each syndrome is associated with “a characteristic cluster of clinical and EEG features, often supported by specific etiologic findings”.

Polygenic risk scores as a marker for epilepsy risk across lifetime and after unspecified seizure events

Nature Communications
A diagnosis of epilepsy has significant consequences for an individual but is often challenging in clinical practice. Novel biomarkers are thus greatly needed.

Intestinal microbiome alterations in pediatric epilepsy: Implications for seizures and therapeutic approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The intestinal microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining host health through its involvement in gastrointestinal, immune, and central nervous system (CNS) functions. Recent evidence underscores the bidirectional communication between the microbiota, the gut, and the brain and the impact of this axis on neurological diseases, including ...
