Nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy
The paroxysmal motor events during sleep are certainly common.The systematic use of nocturnal video-polysomnography has largely improved the diagnostic yield in patients with clusters of nocturnal motor events. Two broad nosological categories have been identified: parasomnias (sleep terror and sleep-walking), which are thought to represent disorders of arousal during sleep,and the epileptic se...
متن کاملSymptomatic nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy
Nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (NFLE) is a disorder characterised by clusters of brief motor seizures during sleep, often without surface EEG epileptiform abnormalities’“.

متن کاملNocturnal Frontal Lobe Epilepsy and Febrile Seizures: genetic and molecular aspects
Idiopathic epilepsies are common and devastating neurological disorders in which genetic background and physiopathological mechanisms underlying the clinical phenotype are not fully characterized yet. These diseases are assumed to have a strong genetic component, being monogenic or oligo/polygenic with different recurrence risks in the same family. However, even in monogenic epilepsy, additiona...
