Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

open access: yesEpilepsia 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.

The application of seaweed-based food products for ketogenic diet: Opportunities and prospects

open access: yesFuture Foods
The ketogenic diet has been the subject of research as a dietary intervention for various health conditions. It is known to induce a metabolic state called ketosis via limiting carbohydrate intake and significantly increasing fat consumption in diet. The

Utility of repeat stereotactic EEG in pediatric patients with tuberous sclerosis

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic disorder associated with early‐onset drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) secondary to intracranial tubers. Many patients undergo stereo‐EEG (sEEG) for seizure onset localization, sometimes requiring multiple sEEGs and subsequent epilepsy surgeries. Our objective was to evaluate the effects

Ketogenic diet as a therapeutic intervention for obsessive-compulsive disorder: a case series of three patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Nutrition
IntroductionThe ketogenic diet is being explored as a therapeutic intervention for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders. Emerging research suggests that these conditions share common pathophysiologies, with the ketogenic diet showing promise in ...

Real‐world use of Cenobamate in pediatric drug‐resistant epilepsy: A European multicenter retrospective study

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Pediatric drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) remains a significant clinical challenge, with few effective pharmacological options. This European multicenter retrospective study assessed the real‐world efficacy, tolerability, and retention of off‐label cenobamate (CNB) in 108 children and adolescents with DRE (median age: 13.83 years, range 3.9–19.8)

Expanding the electroclinical spectrum of TANC2‐related disorders: Lennox–Gastaut syndrome and related developmental epileptic phenotypes

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) and epilepsy are often associated. Increasing evidence highlights a pivotal role for pathogenic variants in genes encoding synaptic scaffolding proteins. Within this group, TANC2 has recently been implicated in intellectual developmental disorder with autistic features and language delay, with or ...

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

open access: yesEpilepsia 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.

Phenotype‐guided etiologic workup in a prospective cohort of 144 adults with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Adults with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) often enter adult neurology care without etiologic clarification because of incomplete transition from pediatric services, outdated investigations, and attenuation of childhood electro‐clinical features over time.

The gut microbiome and drug‐resistant epilepsy: Microbiome–antiseizure medication interactions and implications for pharmacoresistance

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) affects approximately one‐third of patients with epilepsy and represents a major unmet clinical need. While traditional hypotheses of pharmacoresistance have focused on alterations in drug targets, efflux transporter overexpression, and intrinsic disease severity, the gut microbiome has recently emerged as a ...
