Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Epilepsy surgery: From bench to the clinics

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Recent advances in epilepsy surgery in patients with intractable epilepsy make it possible to study the mechanism of epilepsy in human brains. However, the true extent and propagation of each epileptogenic area from the epileptogenic focus in each patient is still difficult to perform “epilepsy cure” by surgery.

Neonatal seizures and GABAergic drugs: Scylla and Charybdis?

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Neonates have a high incidence of seizures that are frequently difficult to control with conventional first‐line anti‐seizure medications, which are gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonists. The reasons for this clinical problem are multifold but are likely related to the unique physiology of the immature nervous system. Specifically, the early

Real‐world effectiveness of highly purified cannabidiol in epilepsy associated with 15q11.2‐q13.1 duplication and deletion syndromes: A multicenter study

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract This multicenter retrospective study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of highly purified cannabidiol (CBD) in 22 patients with 15q11.2‐q13.1 duplication or deletion syndromes (15q‐DDS), including 12 with 15q duplication syndrome (dup15q) and 10 with Angelman syndrome (AS). Median (interquartile range [IQR]) age at CBD initiation was 14.5

Early Use of the NMDA Receptor Antagonist Ketamine in Refractory and Superrefractory Status Epilepticus

Critical Care Research and Practice, 2015
Refractory status epilepticus (RSE) and superrefractory status epilepticus (SRSE) pose a difficult clinical challenge. Multiple cerebral receptor and transporter changes occur with prolonged status epilepticus leading to pharmacoresistance patterns ...

Global disparities in the recognition, diagnosis, and management of seizures or epilepsy of autoimmune etiology

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Despite advancements in “autoimmune epilepsy,” more accurately referred to herein as seizures or epilepsy of autoimmune etiology, significant variability exists in its recognition, diagnosis, and management internationally. This study assessed clinicians' understanding, access to diagnostic tools, and treatment practices across ...

Expanding the scope of pediatric epilepsy surgery: Access, indications, and outcomes in a modern cohort

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Expanded indications, diagnostic tools, and treatment options have transformed the landscape of modern pediatric epilepsy surgery. Published real‐world experiences from large surgical cohorts are still needed. To close this gap, we evaluated access, indications, treatment, and outcomes in a contemporary pediatric epilepsy surgery ...

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

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
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 ...

Research progress on the role of inflammatory mediators in the pathogenesis of epilepsy

Ibrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 44-58, Spring 2025.
In the central nervous system, activated immune cells lead to the overproduction of inflammatory mediators through the corresponding signal pathway. Under the stimulation of inflammatory factors, neuroinflammation ultimately occurs. Overexpression of inflammatory mediators and activated immunocytes plays an important role in the emergence and ...
