Management of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome: A survey of US pediatric hospitals

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To evaluate the management practices of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) across tertiary pediatric hospitals in the United States using a survey‐based approach. Methods A 21‐question survey focused on management setting, work‐up, follow‐up and treatment was created and sent to 45 member institutions of the Pediatric ...

The genetic architecture of epilepsy across molecular mechanisms and clinical heterogeneity

open access: yesEpilepsia 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

open access: yesEpilepsia 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enter adult neurology care without etiologic clarification because of incomplete transition from pediatric services, outdated investigations, and attenuation of childhood electro‐clinical features over time.

Tuberous Sclerosis Complex

open access: yesThe Keio Journal of Medicine
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease characterized by systemic hamartomas, neuropsychiatric symptoms known as TAND (TSC-associated neuropsychiatric disorders), and vitiligo. These symptoms are attributed to the constant activation of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) caused by genetic mutations in

Long‐term developmental outcome in infantile epileptic spasms syndrome after high‐dose prednisolone and vigabatrin treatment

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To evaluate long‐term developmental outcomes and identify independent predictors of favorable developmental outcomes at 3 years of age in children with infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) treated with a standardized stepwise vigabatrin and high‐dose prednisolone protocol.

Astrocyte subtype‐specific alterations in the dentate gyrus of individuals with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy affects approximately 50 million people worldwide and, although primarily attributed to neuronal dysfunction, increasing evidence highlights a critical role of glial cells, particularly astrocytes, in the pathophysiological mechanisms.

Effectiveness and safety of cannabidiol in adult patients with epilepsy: A multicenter, retrospective study

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Cannabidiol (CBD) has demonstrated promising effectiveness and tolerability as adjunctive treatment in patients with severe childhood epilepsies. This study investigated the effectiveness and tolerability of CBD in adults with a history of Dravet syndrome (DS), Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS), or tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC ...

Impact of vigabatrin on risk of relapse of infantile spasms

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Vigabatrin is an effective treatment for infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS), but relapse remains a clinical challenge. The ideal dose and duration of treatment after response are unknown. We set out to identify treatment‐related predictors of IESS relapse after initial vigabatrin response. Methods We conducted a retrospective
