AIM In this retrospective study, we evaluated the clinical responses to antiepileptic drug (AED) therapy in pediatric epilepsy patients treated at a single center. MATERIALS AND METHODS We identified 28 children with intractable epilepsy and 213 patients with drug-responsive epilepsy. RESULTS Univariate analysis showed that age at onset, high (daily) initial seizure frequency, infantile spa...

We report a case of Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) in whom left vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) resulted in worthwhile seizure reduction (Engel's Classification Class III). A 20-year-old woman with DDMS whose seizures were medically intractable was successfully treated using left VNS. She was born at term by unsuccessful forceps-assisted vaginal delivery. Her seizures started at the age of ...
We describe a treatment alternative for intractable, startle-provoked, epileptic seizures in four children aged between 8 and 14. Three of the four children had symptomatic localization-related epilepsy. They all suffered from intractable epilepsy precipitated by sudden sounds. The fact that seizures tended to occur with high frequency - more than one seizure a day - had a clear impact on daily...
Although chronic vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an established treatment for medically-intractable childhood epilepsy, there is considerable heterogeneity in seizure response and little data are available to pre-operatively identify patients who may benefit from treatment. Since the therapeutic effect of VNS may be mediated by afferent projections to the thalamus, we tested the hypothesis tha...
AIM To study the difference between pyridoxine (PN) and its active form, pyridoxal phosphate, (PLP) in control of idiopathic intractable epilepsy in children. METHODS Among 574 children with active epilepsy, 94 (aged 8 months to 15 years) were diagnosed with idiopathic intractable epilepsy for more than six months. All received intravenous PLP 10 mg/kg, then 10 mg/kg/day in four divided doses...
Objective: Febrile seizure (FS) occurs between 6 months and 6 years of age. Febrile seizure is a common disease in pediatrics. Some patients are retarded with recurrent febrile seizure. For example Drawet syndrome was started with febrile seizure and progress into the intractable seizure and finally are retarded. Materials & Methods: This article is the clinical trial study. Population in th...
The aim of this study is to determine surgical outcomes and factors affecting seizure outcomes in patients who harbor supratentorial cavernous angiomas presenting with seizures. Sixty patients were classified into the intractable epilepsy group (n=22) and the sporadic seizure group (n=38) and then managed differently in accordance with our guidelines. Patients exhibiting sporadic seizures were ...
Established partial seizures are often refractory to treatment and many patients receive polypharmacy. An attempt was made to improve seizure control with the substitution of carbamazepine (CBZ) for existing treatment in 7 consecutive unremitting cases of partial epilepsy referred by their physicians as 'intractable'. This produced a significant improvement in control of partial (P less than 0....
