Status epilepticus: Updates on mechanisms and treatments

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) consists of prolonged, self‐sustaining seizures and is a common neurological emergency that causes respiratory compromise and neuronal injury. Without prompt treatment, the seizures can become resistant to benzodiazepines, leading to the progressive evolution of established, refractory, and super‐refractory SE.

Fenfluramine in SCN1A‐related GEFS+: A multicenter observational study on efficacy, EEG improvement, and tolerability

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The SCN1A gene is implicated in a broad spectrum of epilepsy phenotypes, ranging from self‐limited genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) to severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathies such as Dravet syndrome (DS). While fenfluramine (FFA) has demonstrated strong efficacy in DS, its role in SCN1A‐related epilepsies beyond ...

Neuropsychological correlations with fornix and hippocampus in temporal lobe epilepsy demonstrated with diffusion tensor imaging

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Memory dysfunction is a common disabling comorbidity in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and hippocampal sclerosis (HS). While bilateral fornix diffusion abnormalities have been reported in TLE using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), the impact of fornix pathology on cognitive outcomes remains unclear.

Lack of Correlation between Plasma Neuropeptide Y and Typical and Atypical Febrile Seizures

Acta Medica Iranica, 2013
It is known that neuropeptide Y which is widely distributed throughout the central nervous system is able to prevent seizures in animals. There are limited studies about the role of neuropeptide Y in febrile seizures. This study was conducted to evaluate

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
