Partial epilepsy with “ecstatic” seizures

Epilepsy & Behavior, 2003
Reports focusing on auras of ecstasy or pleasure have been limited largely to single case descriptions. We examined 11 consecutive patients with such ictal symptoms. Eight had sensory hallucinations, four had erotic sensations, five described "a religious/spiritual experience," and several had symptoms that were felt to have no counterpart in human ...

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 ...

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?
