The challenge of ultra-rarity: Dual diagnosis of Lafora disease and developmental encephalopathies linked to TRIO and SHANK3 pathogenic variants. [PDF]
Abstract We report two cases of dual genetic diagnoses involving Lafora disease (LD) and co‐occurring neurodevelopmental disorders caused by pathogenic variants in TRIO and SHANK3, respectively. LD is an ultra‐rare, autosomal recessive, severe form of progressive myoclonus epilepsy affecting previously healthy children or adolescents. In both patients,

Prospective evaluation of clinical characteristics, treatment efficacy, and seizure remission in adult-onset genetic generalized epilepsy. [PDF]
Abstract Objective This prospective study aims to characterize the spectrum of epilepsy syndromes among adult patients newly diagnosed with genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE). Additionally, it aims to examine their clinical characteristics, evaluate their response to treatment, and assess the feasibility of treatment discontinuation across each ...

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Red‐light flashing pens and seizures in children
Guidelines exist to limit seizure‐provoking visual stimuli. However, existing recommendations are not universally applied, and poorly regulated flickering lights are easily encountered in consumer products. Two girls experienced prolonged absence seizures triggered by a red‐light flickering pen.

Abstract Objective Seizure self‐reporting is known to be unreliable, particularly with non‐convulsive seizures. There is increasing interest in long‐term monitoring systems to detect and count seizures, including the use of the minimally‐invasive CE‐marked subcutaneous unilateral electroencephalography (EEG) recording system, which has been shown to ...

Clinical and genetic landscape of epilepsies with absence seizures and single‐gene etiology
Abstract Objective To characterize the clinical, electroencephalographic, and genetic features of epilepsies featuring absence seizures within monogenic etiology, highlighting the diagnostic, treatment and prognostic implications. Methods We conducted a retrospective, multicenter study including patients with monogenic epilepsies and ...

Diagnosis and treatment of occipital brain lesions in children
Occipital brain lesions in children represent a diagnostic challenge due to the large spectrum of etiologies and overlapping clinical features. This review analyses common and less common causes of occipital brain lesions in children, including malformative, vascular, genetic/metabolic, infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic conditions.

Prevalence of photoparoxysmal response among south indian epilepsy patients
The reported geographical variations in the prevalence of photoparoxysmal response (PPR) among epilepsy patients have been variously attributed to methodological problems such as patient selection, technique of intermittent photic stimulation (IPS) and definition of PPR, and environmental and racial factors.
