INTRODUCTION This study aims to characterize the population of patients presenting to a pediatric emergency department (ED) for a first complex febrile seizure, and subsequently assess the rate of acute bacterial meningitis (ABM) occurrence in this population. Furthermore, this study seeks to identify whether a specific subset of patients may be at lesser risk for ABM or other serious neurologi...

PURPOSE This study investigated whether interictal epileptiform discharges (IED) on a baseline routine EEG in children with ADHD was associated with the occurrence of epileptic seizures (Sz) or influenced the use of methylphenidate (MPH) during 2 years follow-up. METHODS A retrospective chart-review of 517 ADHD children with EEG revealed IED in 39 cases. These patients (IED group) were matche...

PurposeThere are multidien patterns of seizure occurrence. Predicting risk may be easier with biomarker correlates to patterns. We hypothesize multiday hyper or hypoglycemia contributes risk.MethodsIn a type I diabetic (T1D) focal onset epilepsy continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and responsive neurostimulation (RNS) devices, we studied interictal activities (IEA), seizures, glucose. Hourly CG...

background and objective: chronic renal failure (crf) may have many effects on nervous system and manifest as headache, seizure, dialysis disequilibrium syndrome, cerebral hemorrhage, hypertensive encephalopathy, uremic neuropathy, and some neurologic complications of transplantation. in this present study we investigate neurologic disorders in children with crf. methods: in this descriptive, c...

febrile convulsion (fc), an occurrence frequently encountered in everyday practice, is discussed in this article with a review of corresponding literature.taking into account the extent of debate on the topic, from fc being considered a kind of epileptic seizure to its being viewed as a nonepileptic phenomenon, our aim is not to be judgmental regarding its nature in the present writing. two dis...

PurposeThe ‘chapeau de gendarme’ (CDG) sign, characterised by a symmetric down-turned mouth, has been considered as semiological hallmark of focal epileptic seizures with cingulate or insular involvement. We report three cases in which the CDG sign featured habitual seizures.MethodsThe epileptogenic zones these patients were localized lateral prefrontal cortex video-stereoelectroencephalography...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between intracranial lesions and epileptic seizures in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients. BACKGROUND NF1 is one of the most common autosomal dominant neurocutaneous disorders, and epilepsy is more prevalent in NF1 patients than in the general population. Epileptic seizures were found to be related to various types of intracranial lesions in NF1 ...
