Sixty-three patients (32 women, 31 men), chronically treated with carbamazepine, phenytoin, valproate and/or phenobarbital, were investigated. Mean age at manifestation of epilepsy was 16.4 years; mean age at onset of documentation of seizure frequency was 33.7 years; mean duration of follow-up was 104.8 months; mean number of documented seizures per patient was 313.2. A statistical analysis of...

Abstract Introduction Seizure is a recognised complication of Chronic Subdural Haematoma (CSDH). Blood Type A has been indicated as risk factor for developing postoperative seizures in Acute (ASDH). However, to our knowledge there not similar study see if an association between blood type and seizure CSDH. Method 699 patients who had CSDH surgically evacuated with burr holes 2013 2019 were iden...

OBJECTIVE To explore the factors associated with preoperative epileptic seizure and surgical outcome in patients with cerebral gangliolioma (GG). METHODS A total of 31 consecutive patients with pathologically confirmed ganglioglioma and surgically treated from January 2003 to June 2011 in West China Hospital of Sichuan University were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical data, surgical procedur...

introduction: refractory status epilepticus is a life-threatening disease in children wherein seizure movements don't response to first line anti convulsion drugs. this study reviewed risk factors, management and early outcome of children with refractory status epilepticus. methods: patients with refractory status epilepticus admitted in tabriz children's hospital between 2003 and 200...

The endocannabinoid system modulates neuronal excitability, protects neurons against hyperexcitability and is involved in epileptogenesis in animal models of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis. We performed in vivo positron emission tomography imaging of the type 1 cannabinoid receptor in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis. Twelve patien...

In a given population, certain individuals are much more likely to have seizures than others. This increase in seizure susceptibility can lead to spontaneous seizures, such as seen in idiopathic epilepsy, or to symptomatic seizures that occur after insults to the nervous system. Despite the frequency of these seizure disorders in the human population, the genetic and physiological basis for the...

conclusions the highest frequency of fc was seen in younger than 20-month-old children. except for the lower incidence of positive history of prematurity and higher prevalence of gastroenteritis, results of the present study are relatively similar to other studies. patients and methods in this cross-sectional study, the patients with diagnosis of febrile seizure were the target population. we o...

We investigated the type and frequency of interictal primary headache and peri-ictal headache in 109 patients with partial-onset and 26 patients with generalized onset seizures in this study. Interictal headaches were present in 50 (40.7%) of 135 patients. Comparing the interictal headache on the basis of seizure type, we couldn't find any significant difference between the seizure groups. Seve...
