The electroencephalogram of idiopathic generalized epilepsy.
Idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) is classified into several subsyndromes based on clinical and electroencephalography (EEG) features. The EEG signature of IGE is bisynchronous, symmetric, and generalized spike-wave complex; although focal, irregular, and so called "fragments" of discharges are not uncommon. Other characteristic EEG features include polyspikes, polyspike-wave discharges, oc...
متن کاملDetermination of Haptoglobin Genotype in an Iranian Population with Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy
Background: Haptoglobin (Hp) is a plasma α2-sialoglycoprotein that contains alpha and beta chains. It displays in three common phenotypes, Hp1-1, Hp2-1, and Hp2-2. Proteins expressed by polymorphic genes have grossly different molecular sizes resulting in different diffusion rates in the brain. Haptoglobin expressed by the Hp2-2 genotype has lower hemoglobin-binding capacity than Hp1-1 or...
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...
