Autonomic changes with seizures correlate with postictal EEG suppression.
OBJECTIVE Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) poses a poorly understood but considerable risk to people with uncontrolled epilepsy. There is controversy regarding the significance of postictal generalized EEG suppression as a biomarker for SUDEP risk, and it remains unknown whether postictal EEG suppression has a neurologic correlate. Here, we examined the profile of autonomic alteratio...
متن کاملPostictal generalized EEG suppression: an inconsistent finding in people with multiple seizures.
OBJECTIVE To determine the consistency and facilitating cofactors of postictal generalized EEG suppression (PGES) of >20 seconds after convulsive seizures (CS), a suggested predictor of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy risk. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed video-EEG data of people with ≥2 recorded CS. Presence and duration of PGES were assessed by 2 independent observers blinded to pat...
متن کاملDynamics of convulsive seizure termination and postictal generalized EEG suppression.
It is not fully understood how seizures terminate and why some seizures are followed by a period of complete brain activity suppression, postictal generalized EEG suppression. This is clinically relevant as there is a potential association between postictal generalized EEG suppression, cardiorespiratory arrest and sudden death following a seizure. We combined human encephalographic seizure data...
متن کاملAutonomic nervous system functions in interictal and postictal periods of nonepileptic psychogenic seizures and its comparison with epileptic seizures
PURPOSE (1) To evaluate autonomic nervous system (ANS) functions during both interictal and postictal periods in a group of cases with nonepileptic psychogenic seizures (NEPS) and a group of epileptic patients to determine whether they have autonomic dysfunction. (2) If a significant difference can be established between epileptic and NEPS groups, to determine whether ANS tests can be used as a...
متن کاملPostictal immobility and generalized EEG suppression are associated with the severity of respiratory dysfunction.
OBJECTIVE The pathophysiology of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) remains undetermined. Seizures are accompanied by respiratory dysfunction (RD). Postictal generalized electroencephalography (EEG) suppression (PGES) may follow generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS). Following GTCS patients have impaired arousal and may be motionless. Patients with SUDEP are usually prone. Postictal...
