Symptomatic epileptogenic lesions.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The main aim of this study is to prove the association of seizure types with the MRI findings of the brain (etiological factor). Also, to prove which type of lesion is mostly represented in which age-group, and with which type of seizure. METHODS A total of 100 patients with symptomatic epilepsy, aged from 16 to 80 years, were hospitalized at the Neurology Clinic or ...

متن کاملEpileptogenic drugs: a systematic review.
A wide range of substances, including drugs and illicit compounds, increase the risk of epileptic seizures. In this systematic review, the authors address the issue of the epileptogenic potential of marketed drugs, with the aims of providing criteria for the assessment of the cause-effect relationship between drug exposure and the risk of seizures; and to identify the compounds better fulfillin...
