Electroclinical features and dynamic network connectivity of orbitofrontal epilepsy
Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Orbitofrontal epilepsy (OFE) is rare and underrecognized. This study aims to characterize electroclinical features and dynamic network connectivity of OFE and subtypes. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 17 patients with OFE who underwent stereoelectroencephalographic (SEEG) electrode implantation and epilepsy surgery at our center.

Monthly or menstrual? A scoping review of catamenial epilepsy and non‐menstrual seizure rhythms
Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Despite the reported high prevalence of catamenial epilepsy (CE), the condition remains poorly defined, with lack of consensus on what entails a menstrual‐related seizure exacerbation. Emerging evidence of multiday cycles of seizure activity, including about‐monthly cycles, present in both men and women, further confound the ...

Epileptic arousals: A neglected clinical entity
Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Epileptic arousals (EAs) are seizures characterized solely by arousal from sleep. EAs are unrecognized in current seizure classifications. Their subtle semiology and inconsistently detectable ictal activity in scalp electroencephalography (EEG) complicate differentiation from physiological arousals (PAs). This study characterizes EAs

Comorbid mood, anxiety, and trauma‐ and stressor‐related disorders are highly prevalent and not consistently recognized or treated promptly. Veterans with seizures are particularly vulnerable to neuropsychiatric comorbidities, including a higher prevalence of ...
