Predictors of anti-convulsant treatment failure in children presenting with malaria and prolonged seizures in Kampala, Uganda. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: In endemic areas, falciparum malaria remains the leading cause of seizures in children presenting to emergency departments. In addition, seizures in malaria have been shown to increase morbidity and mortality in these patients. The management

Voltage Gated Sodium Channel Genes in Epilepsy: Mutations, Functional Studies, and Treatment Dimensions

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Genetic epilepsy occurs as a result of mutations in either a single gene or an interplay of different genes. These mutations have been detected in ion channel and non-ion channel genes. A noteworthy class of ion channel genes are the voltage gated sodium

Seizure clusters [PDF]

Journal of Drug Assessment, 2021
Acute repetitive seizures, also called seizure clusters, are common phenomena in patients with epilepsy. They are a burden on patients and their caregivers and may be very disruptive to the patients' lives. They may progress to prolonged seizures or status epilepticus if they are not aborted as soon as possible.

Polymorphous Low-Grade Neuroepithelial Tumor of the Young (PLNTY): A Newly Described Entity of Special Radiological Significance

Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2023
Intracranial granulomas are a major cause of seizures in India, the most common etiologies being neurocysticercosis and tuberculosis. However, other pathologies including rare low-grade tumors may mimic these granulomas on imaging.

Dynamic imaging of coherent sources reveals different network connectivity underlying the generation and perpetuation of epileptic seizures [PDF]

, 2013
The concept of focal epilepsies includes a seizure origin in brain regions with hyper synchronous activity (epileptogenic zone and seizure onset zone) and a complex epileptic network of different brain areas involved in the generation, propagation, and ...
