Early thalamic lesions in patients with sleep-potentiated epileptiform activity.
OBJECTIVE To compare the prevalence and type of early developmental lesions in patients with a clinical presentation consistent with electrical status epilepticus in sleep either with or without prominent sleep-potentiated epileptiform activity (PSPEA). METHODS We performed a case-control study and enrolled patients with 1) clinical features consistent with electrical status epilepticus in sl...
متن کاملSleep-potentiated epileptic discharges, language regression, and pediatric thalamic lesions.
Neurology 2012;78:1708–1709 Ever since Gloor et al.1 demonstrated that thalamocortical interactions were responsible for generalized seizures, alterations of thalamic function have been investigated in the pathophysiology of epilepsy. Today, the thalamus (in its regulatory, synchronizing actions with the cortex) has been assigned diverse roles. To name just two: 1) in potentiating seizure occur...
متن کاملEpileptiform activity in neurocritical care patients.
BACKGROUND Non-convulsive seizures have been reported to be common in neurocritical care patients. Many jurisdictions do not have sufficient resources to enable routine continuous electroencephalography (cEEG) and instead use primarily intermittent EEG, for which the diagnostic yield remains uncertain. Determining risk factors for epileptiform activity and seizures could help identify patients ...
متن کاملPatients with electrical status epilepticus in sleep share similar clinical features regardless of their focal or generalized sleep potentiation of epileptiform activity.
The study objective was to compare qualitatively the clinical features of patients with electrical status epilepticus in sleep with focal versus generalized sleep potentiated epileptiform activity. We enrolled patients 2 to 20 years of age, studied between 2001 and 2009, and with sleep potentiated epileptiform activity defined as an increase of epileptiform activity of 50% or more during non-ra...
متن کاملEpileptiform activity in children with developmental dysphasia: quantification of discharges in overnight sleep video-EEG.
We present results of analysis of overnight sleep video-EEG in 8 patients with developmental dysphasia and rolandic discharges. We evaluated the incidence of epileptiform discharges (expressed as paroxysmal activity density) at one or more electrodes in different sleep stages in three different periods of the night (after falling asleep, around midnight and before awakening). The difference of ...
