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

Optimizing polytherapy management for Dravet syndrome in the United States: A National Expert Consensus

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Dravet syndrome (DS) is a severe, drug‐resistant developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) that requires polytherapy for adequate seizure control. The need to combine multiple antiseizure medications (ASMs), together with variability in seizure types, safety considerations, and evolving patient needs, makes treatment ...

The genetic architecture of epilepsy across molecular mechanisms and clinical heterogeneity

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy comprises a highly heterogeneous group of neurological disorders unified by a persistent predisposition to recurrent seizures, yet driven by remarkably diverse genetic, molecular, and network‐level mechanisms. Advances in genomic technologies have revealed that epilepsy arises from a multilayered genetic architecture encompassing rare

Phenotype‐guided etiologic workup in a prospective cohort of 144 adults with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Adults with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) often enter adult neurology care without etiologic clarification because of incomplete transition from pediatric services, outdated investigations, and attenuation of childhood electro‐clinical features over time.

Response to anti‐seizure medications in children carrying novel or previously reported HCN1 gene variants

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Variants in the HCN1 gene cause a syndrome of childhood epilepsy and developmental disability with a broad phenotypic range. Many affected children manifest with early infantile epileptic encephalopathy (EIEE) and highly drug‐resistant epilepsy.

Salience network hub dysfunction is associated with cognitive impairment in self‐limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes: An OPM‐MEG study

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Self‐limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (SeLECTS), although characterized by well‐controlled seizures, is frequently associated with persistent cognitive deficits in affected children. This study aimed to investigate whether hub dysfunction of the salience network (SN) is associated with cognitive impairment in SeLECTS ...
