Non-epileptic myoclonus and mitochondrial encephalomyopathy

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 1989
Two brothers presented to us with a progressive myoclonic syndrome with slight cerebellar symptoms. Neurological examination disclosed moderate cerebellar signs and pale optic discs; asymmetric, asynchronous and arhythmic myoclonus, an arthresthesic ...

Facilitating the timely diagnosis of Lennox–Gastaut syndrome: A checklist to support clinical practice

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To develop and evaluate a simple‐to‐use checklist to support physicians with the timely diagnosis of Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS). Methods A panel of 10 pediatric and adult epileptologists used the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) criteria for LGS classification and definition to develop seven questions for the checklist,

NMDAR‐antibody encephalitis: Seizure semiology and EEG findings

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor antibody encephalitis (NMDAR‐Ab‐E) is an autoantibody‐mediated disorder, characterized by acute development of neuropsychiatric symptoms, seizures, movement disorders, and autonomic instability. Objectives To describe acute seizure semiology and electroencephalogram (EEG) findings in patients with a ...

Refining the electroclinical phenotype of 15q11.2 microdeletion: EEG biomarker overlap with Angelman syndrome

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract The 15q11.2 microdeletion is a chromosomal condition associated with a broad epileptic phenotype. It is differentiated from Angelman syndrome, which is typically a larger maternal deletion in an overlapping area. We describe a patient with a 15q11.2 microdeletion that has clinical and EEG biomarker features similar to those seen in Angelman ...

Semiology of functional/dissociative seizures in idiopathic generalized epilepsy: An inpatient video‐electroencephalographic study

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to estimate the prevalence and characterize the semiology of co‐occurring functional/dissociative seizures (FDSs) and identify clinical features potentially associated with the development of video‐electroencephalography (video‐EEG)‐diagnosed FDSs in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE ...

Timing is everything: The effect of early‐life seizures on developing neuronal circuits subserving spatial memory

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Spatial memory, the aspect of memory involving encoding and retrieval of information regarding one's environment and spatial orientation, is a complex biological function incorporating multiple neuronal networks. Hippocampus‐dependent spatial memory is not innate and emerges during development in both humans and rodents.

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”.
