Facial Asymmetry in Partial Epilepsies

Epilepsia, 1992
Summary: Fifty‐six consecutive epileptic patients with partial seizures (30 temporal, 26 extratemporal) and facial asymmetry were studied. Facial asymmetry was compared with EEG, radiologic, and other clinical findings. Thirty patients had a lesional epilepsy whereas 26 were considered cryptogenic.

Interview accuracy in partial epilepsy

Epilepsy & Behavior, 2009
The statistical concept of accuracy has never been applied to verify the history data collected on seizure disorders by open format interview. We compared patients'/witnesses' descriptions of epileptic seizures with videotaped seizure characteristics and analyzed the accuracy (ACC), sensitivity (SN), specificity (SP), false-positive rate (FPR), and ...

Vigabatrin for refractory partial epilepsy

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2008
Epilepsy is a common neurological condition which affects between 0.5% and 1% of the population. Approximately 30% of people with epilepsy do not respond to treatment with currently available drugs, and the majority of these people have partial epilepsy. Vigabatrin is an antiepileptic drug licensed for use in the treatment of refractory epilepsy.

Felbamate in refractory partial epilepsy

Epilepsy Research, 1999
This open-label study was performed to evaluate efficacy and safety of Felbamate (FBM) add-on therapy in drug-refractory partial epilepsy. We evaluated 36 patients (12 males) aged 11-68 years (mean 29.8) in which FBM was titrated gradually from 300 mg/day to a mean total maintenance daily dose of 1936 mg.

Benign partial epilepsies in infancy

Brain and Development, 2000
Benign partial epilepsies are not rare in infancy and comprise two forms, although both are closely related. One is partial epilepsy with complex partial seizures (CPS) and the other one with secondarily generalized seizures (SGS). The most frequent site of seizure origin was in the temporal area in the former and central, parietal or occipital area in

Preictal headache in partial epilepsy

Neurology, 2005
The authors studied clinical characteristics in 11 patients with intractable focal epilepsy and preictal headache (PIHA) using a standardized interview. Headache was frontotemporal, ipsilateral to the focus, in nine patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and contralateral in one with TLE and in one with frontal seizures.
