Celiac Disease, Epilepsy, and Occipital Calcifications: Histopathological Study and Clinical Outcome
Bye et al. in 1993 first described the pathological findings in a patient with celiac disease (CD), bilateral occipital calcifications, and drug-resistant epilepsy who became seizure-free after extensive occipital resection. We report a case with an identical anatomoclinical condition in which surgical removal of the circumscribed calcified lesion was ineffective and epilepsy worsened until a g...
متن کاملReflex occipital lobe epilepsy
Photosensitivity is a typical feature of photosensitive epilepsy which is usually considered a form of idiopathic generalized epilepsy. Partial seizures featuring visual symptoms are rarely reported in photosensitive epilepsy. In this study, we describe 13 neurologically normal patients in whom daytime seizures were always induced by television and began with elementary visual hallucinations, f...
متن کاملVisual disturbances representing occipital lobe epilepsy in patients with cerebral calcifications and coeliac disease: a case series.
Paroxysmal visual manifestations may represent epileptic seizures arising from the occipital lobe. In coeliac disease (CD) bilateral occipital calcifications and seizure semiology consistent with an occipital origin have been described, primarily in Mediterranean countries. By reporting three adult patients from an Australian outpatient clinic with visual disturbances, occipital cerebral calcif...
متن کاملOccipital epilepsy: lateral versus mesial.
This study compares ictal semiology, neurological examination and scalp EEG between lateral and mesial occipital epilepsy to assess the contribution non-invasive data make in determining the epileptogenic region within an occipital lobe. We assessed seizure origin in 41 occipital patients as lateral (11 patients), mesial (20) and both surfaces (10) as indicated by subdurally recorded seizures (...
متن کاملCoeliac disease, epilepsy, and cerebral calcifications: association with TG6 autoantibodies.
A 4-year-old boy presented with occipital seizures but normal initial neuroimaging and proved refractory to antiepileptic medications. On repeat neuroimaging after 1 year, he had developed bi-occipital calcification and was then found to have positive coeliac serology. He was diagnosed with coeliac disease, epilepsy, and cerebral calcifications (CEC) and became seizure free after starting the g...
