Late‐onset unexplained epilepsy as a risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia: Protocol for a multi‐center prospective longitudinal observational study (ELUCID)

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Late‐onset unexplained epilepsy (LoUE), defined as epilepsy onset after age 55 without an obvious cause, is an important risk factor for dementia. Studies have shown that 10%–25% of individuals with LoUE develop dementia within 3–4 years following their first seizure.

Distinct medial temporal volumetric signatures in extra‐medial temporal lobe lesional epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To quantify amygdala and hippocampal volumetric asymmetries in patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) and extra‐medial temporal lesions (EMTLs) and to assess the prevalence of structural alterations relative to drug‐resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), extratemporal lobe epilepsy (ETLE), and healthy individuals.
