Are the dichotomies generalized versus focal epilepsies and idiopathic versus symptomatic epilepsies still valid in modern epileptology?

Electroencephalographic generalized features in idiopathic childhood focal epilepsies
PURPOSE Idiopathic focal epilepsies in childhood including benign childhood epilepsy with occipital paroxysms (BEOP) or benign childhood epilepsy with centro-temporal spikes (BCECTS) are characterized by specific focal electrographic patterns as the name indicates. Generalized spike-wave discharges in children with idiopathic focal epilepsy can suggest a neurobiological continuum with the idiop...
متن کاملEpidemiology of idiopathic generalized epilepsies.
Idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs) are a relatively new category of disorders defined by strict clinical and electroencephalogram (EEG) features proposed by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) classification of epileptic syndromes. IGEs are usually easy to diagnose when clinical and EEG data are collected, but epilepsy is not synonymous with epileptic syndrome. So far, IGEs a...

متن کاملThe profusion of genotypes and phenotypes in "idiopathic" generalized epilepsies.
The myriad genetic associations with idiopathic (primary) generalized epilepsies (IGE) are challenging to both researchers and caregivers. There are numerous mutations, among them voltagegated sodium, potassium, and calcium channels and ligand-gated GABA receptors. A variety of mutations may produce similar phenotypes, while, equally troublesome, single mutations may produce a range of phenotyp...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Copy Number Variation in Epilepsy: Novel Susceptibility Loci in Idiopathic Generalized and Focal Epilepsies
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders in humans with a prevalence of 1% and a lifetime incidence of 3%. Several genes have been identified in rare autosomal dominant and severe sporadic forms of epilepsy, but the genetic cause is unknown in the vast majority of cases. Copy number variants (CNVs) are known to play an important role in the genetic etiology of many neurodevelop...
