Hereditary Factors in Partial Epilepsy

Epilepsia, 1969
SUMMARYIn an effort to characterize the hereditary factors in the non‐generalized epilepsies, a study was made of 51 cases of partial epileptic seizures occurring in subjects whose family included at least one other epileptic. It was possible to classify these cases into five groups, viz.: A group of 15 cases characterized by mid‐childhood epilepsy ...

The Benign Partial Nonrolandic Epilepsies

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 1991
Although rolandic epilepsy is the only epileptic syndrome that, at present, fully meets all the criteria of benignity and is widely recognized as such, there are also other forms of partial epilepsy that are benign. These are also genetically determined and age-dependent, occurring in neurologically intact children older than 18 months of age.

Diagnosis of partial epilepsy in a goat

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1987
A seizure disorder of 4.5 years' duration in a 6-year-old female Nubian goat was diagnosed as partial epilepsy on the basis of history, focal electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormalities, convulsive response to ketamine, and necropsy findings. The goat appeared to maintain consciousness during her seizures.

Valproate in the Treatment of Partial Epilepsies

Epilepsia, 1994
Summary: Review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) shows that valproate (VPA) is effective against partial seizures with or without becoming secondarily generalized. A number of RCTs show little difference in the efficacy of VPA and carbamazepine in this patient group, particularly where patients are randomized at the time of diagnosis. The length

Epilepsy (partial).

BMJ clinical evidence, 2016
About 3% of people will be diagnosed with epilepsy during their lifetime, but about 70% of people with epilepsy eventually go into remission.We conducted a systematic review and aimed to answer the following clinical questions: What are the effects of starting antiepileptic drug treatment following a single seizure?

Basic mechanisms of partial epilepsies

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2004
Partial epilepsies are characterized by cell loss with consequences for neuronal organization, excitability, mnestic and cognitive functions and present with pharmaco-resistance and difficulties in clinical management. While mesial temporal lobe epilepsies present frequently with cell loss and neuronal reorganization, neocortical epilepsies frequently ...

Functional Partial Epilepsies in Childhood

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 1986
Abstract: Out of the 314 children with partial epilepsies below the age of 15 who had been followed for more than 5 years, 122 children with functional partial epilepsies (FPE) were the subjects of this study. The specific modality of interictal EEG findings reminiscent of that of the Rolandic spikes (Dalla Bernardina, 1982, 1984) was compared between

Genetics of human partial epilepsy

Current Opinion in Neurology, 1997
A minor genetic predisposition to partial epilepsy has been long recognized. Recently, a group of idiopathic partial epilepsies with autosomal dominant inheritance has been identified. The clinical features and molecular genetic findings in these epilepsies are outlined in the present review.

Epilepsies With Partial Seizures in Childhood

Journal of Child Neurology, 1997
Individual seizures are described as either partial (localization related) or generalized depending on whether a localized area of cerebral cortex is symptomatically involved sufficient to impart to the seizure a focal signature or whether sufficient cortex is involved sufficiently rapidly to appear as if generalized from the outset.

Genetics of the Partial Epilepsies: A Review

Epilepsia, 1989
Summary: The research literature is consistent in reporting somewhat less familial aggregation in partial than in generalized epilepsy. However, relatives of patients with partial seizures do appear to have higher seizure risks than relatives of controls, suggesting that genetic factors are important in at least some partial epilepsies.
