Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and phenotype: Secondary network epilepsies

, 2014
OBJECTIVE: Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a severe epilepsy phenotype with characteristic electroclinical features despite diverse etiologies. We previously found common cerebral networks involved during slow spike-and-wave (SSW) and generalized ...

Revisiting the concept that interictal implies asymptomatic: Pulse wave amplitude drops uncover autonomic responses during generalized paroxysmal fast activities

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Interictal electroencephalographic (EEG) activities are generally considered asymptomatic. Pulse wave amplitude drop (PWAD) is a marker of autonomic nervous system (ANS) reactivity linked to cardiovascular risk. Generalized paroxysmal fast activity (GPFA) is a major EEG pattern in different epileptic conditions.

Programming of deep brain stimulation of the centromedian nucleus of the thalamus for drug‐resistant epilepsy: A meta‐analysis and proposed programming framework

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Although the centromedian nucleus of the thalamus (CM) is an increasingly considered deep brain stimulation (DBS) target for drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE), there is significant variability in programming practices, which may contribute to heterogenous outcomes.

Phenotypic and transcriptomic characterization of biallelic RNU2‐2 developmental and epileptic encephalopathy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective A significant proportion of individuals with suspected genetic developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) remain unsolved following whole genome sequencing (WGS). Here we describe biallelic RNU2‐2 variants causing a recently reported, severe, recessive DEE.

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

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”.
