Postmortem MRI reveals distinct structural features in sudden unexpected death in epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, Volume 11, Issue 3, Page 1054-1060, June 2026.
Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) abnormalities have been reported in individuals who later die from sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), but their specificity and predictive value remain uncertain. Postmortem MRI (PM‐MRI) offers a unique opportunity to distinguish structural features associated with SUDEP from changes related to ...

Exploring pathways leading to drug‐resistant epilepsy for patients with cryptogenic new onset refractory status epilepticus

Epilepsia, Volume 67, Issue 5, Page 2326-2346, May 2026.
Abstract Objective Cryptogenic new onset refractory status epilepticus (cNORSE) carries high risks of long‐term disability and post‐NORSE epilepsy, but mechanisms remain unclear. We aimed to assess the predictive value of inflammatory and brain injury biomarkers and determine whether immune disturbances persist in the chronic phase. Methods We enrolled
