Epilepsy is a neurological disorder of the central nervous system, characterized by sudden seizures caused abnormal electrical discharges in brain. Electroencephalogram (EEG) most common technique used for diagnosis. Generally, it done manual inspection EEG recordings active seizure periods (ictal). Several techniques have been proposed throughout years to automate this process. In study, we de...

Epilepsy is one of the significant neurological disorders affecting nearly 65 million people worldwide. The repeated seizure characterized as epilepsy. Different algorithms were proposed for efficient detection using intracranial and surface EEG signals. In last decade, various machine learning techniques based on approaches proposed. This paper discusses different deep A wide range such suppor...

Objective(s): Seizure detection during online recording of electrophysiological parameters is very important in epileptic patients. In the present study, online analysis of field potential recordings was used for detecting spontaneous seizures in epileptic animals.Materials and Methods: Epilepsy was induced in rats by pilocarpine injecti...

PURPOSE Febrile seizure, the most common type of pediatric convulsive disorder, is a benign seizure syndrome distinct from epilepsy. However, as epilepsy is also common during childhood, we aimed to identify the prognostic factors that can predict epilepsy in children with febrile seizures. METHODS The study comprised 249 children at the Korea University Ansan Hospital who presented with febr...

objective 1-3% of the population suffer from epilepsy. up to 30% of them develop refractory epilepsy and their seizures occur more than once per month despite receiving at least 2 first line antiepileptic drugs. in  this group, more efficacious antiepileptics are needed. this study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oxcarbazepine as an adjunction therapy in children with refr...

www.aafp.org/afp AMERICAN FAMILY PHYSICIAN 91 tion or video review because the diagnosis requires other information, such as age of onset, etiology, family history, seizure frequency, imaging studies, precipitating factors, electroencephalography (EEG) and natural history. Most types of epilepsy are characterized by more than one type of seizure. Patients with focal (or partial) epilepsy may ha...

Epileptic seizures constitute a serious neurological condition for patients and, if untreated, considerably decrease their quality of life. Early and correct diagnosis by semiological seizure analysis provides the main approach to treat and improve the patients’ condition. To obtain reliable and quantifiable information, medical professionals perform seizure detection and subsequent analysis us...

PURPOSE The role of sharps and spikes, interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs), in guiding epilepsy surgery in children remains controversial, particularly with intracranial electroencephalography (IEEG). Although ictal recording is the mainstay of localizing epileptic networks for surgical resection, current practice dictates removing regions generating frequent IEDs if they are near the ict...

INTRODUCTION To analyze the diagnostic accuracy of MRI in patients undergoing parietal and occipital lobe epilepsy surgery. METHODS In a retrospective study, we analyzed MRI scans and neuropathology reports of 42 patients who had undergone resective epilepsy surgery in the parietal and occipital lobe between 1998 and 2003. We evaluated, whether lesions were precisely characterized by MRI and ...
