The localizing and lateralizing value of ictal/postictal coughing in patients with focal epilepsies
Postictal coughing has so far been reported to indicate a temporal origin of focal epilepsy. A trend towards non-dominant hemisphere lateralization and mesial temporal localization has been suggested. However, postictal coughing has also been reported in a few patients with extratemporal epilepsies. We have retrospectively evaluated the localizing and lateralizing value of ictal/postictal cough...
full textLocalizing and lateralizing features of auras and seizures.
The symptomatology of auras and seizures is a reflection of activation of specific parts of the brain by the ictal discharge, the location and extent of which represent the symptomatogenic zone. The symptomatogenic zone is presumably, though not necessarily, in close proximity to the epileptogenic zone, the area responsible for seizure generation, the complete removal or disconnection of which ...
full textmTOR pathway in familial focal epilepsies
An increasingly recognized role of genes encoding components of the mammalian Target Of Rapamycin (mTOR) signal transduction pathway has recently emerged among familial focal epilepsies. Loss-of-function mutations in the Dishevelled, Egl-10 and Pleckstrin Domain Containing protein 5 (DEPDC5) gene, and lately in the genes encoding Nitrogen Permease Regulator Like 2 and 3 proteins (NPRL2 and NPRL...
full textNMDA receptor binding in focal epilepsies
OBJECTIVE To demonstrate altered N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor availability in patients with focal epilepsies using positron emission tomography (PET) and [(18)F]GE-179, a ligand that selectively binds to the open NMDA receptor ion channel, which is thought to be overactive in epilepsy. METHODS Eleven patients (median age 33 years, 6 males) with known frequent interictal epileptiform d...
full textThe Localizing and Lateralizing Value of Auras in Lesional Partial Epilepsy Patients
PURPOSE We investigated the localizing and lateralizing values of auras in patients with lesional partial epilepsy on an outpatient basis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 276 subjects were retrospectively selected for this study if they had a unilateral single lobar lesion based on magnetic resonance image (MRI) results, and their scalp electroencephalography (EEG) findings were not discorda...
