Diffusion changes suggesting predominant vasogenic oedema during partial status epilepticus
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has demonstrated a focal area of cytotoxic oedema during partial status epilepticus (PSE). However, vasogenic oedema related to the breakdown of the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) and ictal hyperperfusion could be the predominant DWI findings in the epileptogenic area during PSE. We report a case of PSE with ictal aphasia, right hemiparesis, and repetitive focal moto...
متن کاملSymmetrical 'vasogenic' brain oedema.
Low attenuation of the cerebral white matter occurs with oedema and demyelination. When unilateral or asymmetrical it is usually due to a tumour, granuloma or abscess. The nidus responsible for the vasogenic oedema can be demonstrated after contrast enhancement. Bilateral demyelination occurs especially with viral infections such as herpes simplex encephalitis and progressive multifocal leukoen...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted and perfusion MRI demonstrates parenchymal changes in complex partial status epilepticus.
Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) and perfusion MRI (PI) have been mainly applied in acute stroke, but may provide information in the peri-ictal phase in epilepsy patients. Both transient reductions of brain water diffusion, namely a low apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and signs of hyperperfusion have been reported in experimental and human epilepsy case studies. We studied 10 patients with co...
متن کاملFocal cerebral magnetic resonance changes associated with partial status epilepticus.
We report 2 patients with transient abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) associated with partial status epilepticus (SE). A man with a 4-month history of partial seizures had complex partial SE for 9 days, with left temporal maximum on ictal EEG. Left temporal lobe T2 signal was increased on MRI during SE, but cerebral MRI was normal 9 weeks later. A woman with "cryptogenic" tempor...
متن کاملClobazam in partial status epilepticus
Clobazam is the first and only 1,5-benzodiazepine to be used in the management of epilepsy. The use and effectiveness of oral clobazam in patients with status epilepticus has only been previously described in one study of 16 cases, seven of whom were in complex partial status. We have used clobazam in four patients with EEG-proven partial status epilepticus refractory to standard antiepileptic ...
