Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Complete lesion resection and early surgical intervention are favorable factors for long‐term seizure freedom in drug‐resistant epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epileptic spasms (ES) in children carry a high risk of neurodevelopmental delay, yet predictors of long‐term surgical outcome remain incompletely defined. This study aimed to evaluate seizure outcomes following epilepsy surgery and to identify independent prognostic factors for postoperative recurrence.

Genetic analysis of human absence epilepsy [PDF]

, 2010
Idiopathic Mendelian epilepsies have been typically identified as channelopathies. Evidence suggests that mutations in genes encoding GABAA receptors, GABAB receptors or voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCCs) may underlie childhood absence epilepsy ...

The genetic architecture of epilepsy across molecular mechanisms and clinical heterogeneity

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy comprises a highly heterogeneous group of neurological disorders unified by a persistent predisposition to recurrent seizures, yet driven by remarkably diverse genetic, molecular, and network‐level mechanisms. Advances in genomic technologies have revealed that epilepsy arises from a multilayered genetic architecture encompassing rare

Infantile Spasms in Children with Down Syndrome [PDF]

, 2011
Down syndrome (DS) is the most common genetic cause of mental retardation. It is estimated that 5–13% of persons affected by DS have seizures. Infantile spasms are the most common type of seizures and usually are well controlled with steroids and ...
