Claustrum Involvement in New Onset Refractory Status Epilepticus: A Systematic Review

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The claustrum sign is a distinctive neuroimaging finding characterized by bilateral T2/FLAIR hyperintensity of the claustrum, one of the most interconnected regions of the human brain. It was first described in new‐onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) and febrile infection–related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES).

Fatty Acid Binding Protein 5 Mediates Astrocytic Pyroptosis and Neuroinflammation in Epilepsy via cGAS/STING Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Astrocytic FABP5 promotes mitochondrial stress, cGAS‐STING pathway activation, pyroptosis, and neuroinflammation in epilepsy, contributing to seizure pathology. Genetic targeting of FABP5 or pharmacological inhibition of STING alleviates epileptic phenotypes, highlighting a potential therapeutic strategy for epilepsy.

A guide to neuromodulation in drug‐resistant epilepsy

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuromodulation is approved for the treatment of drug‐resistant epilepsy. It has been increasingly utilized over the past two decades with the approval of deep brain stimulation (DBS) and responsive neurostimulation (RNS) in addition to vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)—particularly in patients who are not deemed to be good resective surgical ...

Progressive Brain Atrophy in Super-refractory Status Epilepticus [PDF]

JAMA Neurology, 2016
Prolonged seizures in super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) have been shown to cause neuronal death and reorganization, and visual inspection in individual case studies has demonstrated progressive cortical and subcortical atrophy. At present, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies that evaluate brain atrophy in SRSE are lacking.To document and ...

Cenobamate use in super‐refractory status epilepticus: A report of three cases

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Super‐refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) is a neurological emergency with high morbidity and mortality. Cenobamate, a novel antiseizure medication, may be helpful in managing SRSE, but evidence is limited. Methods This retrospective case series reports the use of cenobamate as add‐on therapy in the management of three cases of ...

Seminars in epileptology: Holistic management of epilepsy in adults with intellectual development disorders

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract This seminar addresses the complexity of the management of epilepsy in adults with intellectual development disorders (IDD), advocating holistic and multidisciplinary care aligned with the learning objectives of the International League Against Epilepsy. Epilepsy is significantly more prevalent in people with IDD, presenting unique diagnostic,

Ketogenic diet for adults in super-refractory status epilepticus [PDF]

Neurology, 2014
To describe a case series of adult patients in the intensive care unit in super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE; refractory status lasting 24 hours or more despite appropriate anesthetic treatment) who received treatment with the ketogenic diet (KD).We performed a retrospective case review at 4 medical centers of adult patients with SRSE treated ...

Exploring the efficacy and safety of perampanel in epilepsia partialis continua: A case series

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) is a form of focal motor status epilepticus (SE), which is commonly drug‐resistant requiring treatment with multiple antiseizure medications (ASM). There are no established guidelines for pharmacological management.

Efficacy of fenfluramine in a pediatric epilepsy patient with a pathogenic SV2A variant: A case report

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Pathogenic SV2A gene variants have been reported as causes of epilepsy and are often associated with drug resistance and susceptibility to fever‐related seizures. No highly effective treatments have been established for this condition. We report a female patient with a family history of epilepsy who developed generalized seizures associated ...
