EEG discharges on awakening: a marker of idiopathic generalized epilepsy.
In a series of 24-hour ambulatory EEG recordings from 1,000 consecutive adult outpatients (44.5% with generalized and 55.5% with partial epilepsy, one recording per patient), the authors found only 46 (4.6%) activations of epileptiform discharges on awakening. All recordings came from patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy, predominantly with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy and generalized t...
متن کاملNeuropsychological-EEG Activation in Genetic Generalized Epilepsy
Investigators from Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Kaunas, evaluated the effects of neuropsychological activation (NPA) tasks on epileptiform discharges (ED) in adolescents with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) and in comparison with hyperventilation and photic stimulation.
متن کاملValproate decreases EEG synchronization in a use-dependent manner in idiopathic generalized epilepsy
INTRODUCTION In order to explore the mechanism of action of valproate (VPA) in idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE), the effect of VPA on cortical EEG activity was investigated. HYPOTHESIS VPA decreases EEG synchronization in the delta and theta frequency bands in a use-dependent manner in IGE patients. METHODS First setting: EEG records of 17 untreated IGE patients (NAE group) were analyz...
متن کاملCorpus callosotomy in refractory idiopathic generalized epilepsy
RATIONALE A small percentage of patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) do not respond to medical therapy. Generalized tonic-clonic (GTC) seizures are especially debilitating and can be associated with severe injuries. The benefit, safety and effect of corpus callosotomy (CC) in patients with IGE have not been studied. METHODS We reviewed patients with presumed IGE who underwent C...
متن کاملFunctional neuroimaging abnormalities in idiopathic generalized epilepsy
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques have been used to quantitatively assess focal and network abnormalities. Idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) is characterized by bilateral synchronous spike-wave discharges on electroencephalography (EEG) but normal clinical MRI. Dysfunctions involving the neocortex, particularly the prefrontal cortex, and thalamus likely contribute to seizure activ...
