This paper reports a case of previously healthy patient who presented with generalised tonic-clonic seizure due to cerebral edema. Investigations revealed he had human Deficiency Virus (HIV) toxoplasmosis and was co-infected Hepatitis C. He immediately placed on treatment regime which, 4 weeks later, showed improvement in his clinical condition computed tomography (CT) brain imaging. then put a...

A 53 year old man with no history of epilepsy was admitted to the emergency department with complaints of vertigo, nausea and a single episode of vomiting. On neurologic examination eye movements were intact, there was no nystagmus or pyramidal signs, and instability of gait was noted. On computed tomography without contrast media a hypodense lesion was observed on the right cerebellum [Figure ...

------------------------------INDICATIONS AND USAGE-------------------------Levetiracetam in Sodium Chloride Injection is an antiepileptic drug indicated for adults (16 years and older) with the following seizure types when oral administration is temporarily not feasible. • Partial onset seizures (1.1) • Myoclonic seizures in patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (1.2) • Primarygeneralized ...

A 40-year-old male presented with a single generalized tonic-clonic seizure. MRI revealed an enhancing, dural-based, left lateral sphenoid wing lesion suggestive of a meningioma. At microsurgical excision, the lesion was firm and relatively avascular. The histopathological report revealed S-100 positive histiocytic proliferation with lymphophagocytosis (emperipolesis) characteristic of the Rosa...

A case of "Dandy-Walker Syndrome" with secondary Generalised tonic clonic seizures and post-ictal psychosis is reported in a 33 year old man. The venthculo-pehtoneal shunt procedure, carried on 3 years back has failed to bring down the seizure frequency. Electrophysiological and neuropsychological investigation suggest impairment in left temporal lobe.

Objective Studies have demonstrated the utility of closed-loop neuromodulation in treating focal onset seizures. There is an utmost need of neurostimulation therapy for generalized tonic-clonic seizures. The study goals are to map the thalamocortical network dynamics during the generalized convulsive seizures and identify targets for reliable seizure detection. Methods Local field potentials ...

PURPOSE To report that iopamidol myelography can induce status epilepticus (SE) in patients carrying the diagnosis of symptomatic epilepsy and to estimate the incidence of seizures in patients undergoing iopamidol myelography. METHODS We retrospectively identified all patients with seizures/SE associated with 1350 iopamidol myelographies during the last 5 years at our institution. The impact ...
