Capgras Syndrome and Unilateral Spatial Neglect in Nonconvulsive Status Epilepticus

Behavioural Neurology, 2008
Nonconvulsive status epilepticus can manifest as personality changes and psychosis. We report an 87-year-old right-handed male presenting with both Capgras syndrome and severe unilateral spatial neglect during nonconvulsive status epilepticus.

Defining the end point of status epilepticus: A scoping review and framework for standardization

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) is a life‐threatening neurological emergency with consensus‐driven definitions for onset but no standardized criteria for its end point. This gap creates uncertainty in research and clinical practice. We conducted a scoping review to evaluate how end points have been defined in SE research and to identify key areas of ...

Cerebrospinal fluid microRNAs are potential biomarkers of temporal lobe epilepsy and status epilepticus

Scientific Reports, 2017
There is a need for diagnostic biomarkers of epilepsy and status epilepticus to support clinical examination, electroencephalography and neuroimaging. Extracellular microRNAs may be potentially ideal biomarkers since some are expressed uniquely within ...

Mental health impacts experienced by caregivers of people with Dravet syndrome: A systematic literature review

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Graphical abstract for the systematic literature review. Abstract Objective Dravet syndrome (DS) places tremendous burden on caregivers owing to the extent of required assistance and impact on daily living, as well as the risk to the individual with DS of premature mortality from sudden unexpected death in epilepsy and morbidity associated with ...

Long‐lasting remodeling of astrocytes in an Scna1+/− mouse model of Dravet syndrome

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Dravet syndrome (DS) is a prototypical developmental and epileptic encephalopathy caused by mutations in the SCN1A gene, leading to loss of function of the voltage‐gated sodium channel Naᵥ1.1. The latter causes early onset drug‐resistant seizures and enduring cognitive and behavioral deficits.

Patterns of seizure frequency reduction in clinical trial participants with lower baseline seizure frequency

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Inclusion and exclusion criteria of clinical trials for seizures aim to select representative participants with a high enough seizure frequency to evaluate the efficacy of treatment in a relatively short double‐blind period. To inform the selection of seizure frequency‐based inclusion criteria, we evaluated the association between ...

Arterial spin labeling performs comparably to 2‐[18F]fluoro‐2‐deoxy‐D‐glucose positron emission tomography for presurgical evaluation in pediatric lesional epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to test whether arterial spin labeling (ASL) performs comparably to 2‐[18F]fluoro‐2‐deoxy‐D‐glucose positron emission tomography (FDG‐PET), the mainstay functional imaging technique, in pediatric lesional epilepsy, while avoiding radiotracer exposure and additional sedation.
