OBJECTIVE Electroencephalographic status epilepticus occurs in 9-35% of comatose patients after cardiac arrest. Mortality is 90-100%. It is unclear whether (some) seizure patterns represent a condition in which anti-epileptic treatment may improve outcome, or severe ischemic damage, in which treatment is futile. We explored current treatment practice and its effect on patients' outcome. METHO...

Drugs administered for anesthesia can trigger seizure attacks in patients with epilepsy. Benzodiazepines have been consistently reported to be anticonvulsants, and a novel benzodiazepine, remimazolam, was recently introduced. We report case of total intravenous maintained remimazolam patient epilepsy who underwent deep brain stimulation both anterior thalamic nuclei. Despite the administration ...

Use of medication with a desired effect on the central nervous system (as with anti-epileptic drugs) in children will undoubtedly cause concern about neurodevelopment. Data are emerging to suggest an effect of anticonvulsants on the developing brain of the unborn child when administered to mothers with epilepsy. This obviously requires detailed evaluation, especially when considering the risks ...

BACKGROUND/AIM Cognitive dysfunction in epileptic patients may develop due to the neurophysiological changes related to seizures or antiepileptic drugs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cognitive dysfunction in epileptic patients under antiepileptic drug therapy by the aid of event related potentials. METHOD P300 latencies were obtained from Fz, Cz and Pz electrod positions from both...

Drugs can influence cognitive function in several different ways. The cognitive enhancers or nootropics have become a major issue in drug development during the last decade. Nootropics are defined as drugs that generally increase neuron metabolic activity, improve cognitive and vigilance level and are said to have antidementia effect (1). These drugs are essential for the treatment of geriatric...
