We report a case of frontal lobe epilepsy due to focal cortical dysplasia that included three independent unusual features. The patient, a 45-year-old, right-handed woman, had her first seizure at age 29, well into adulthood. Seizures had been easily controlled with medication for 15 years, then without provocation they became medically intractable during a single, identifiable day. Resection o...
At age 15 months, this previously healthy girl presented with an unprovoked seizure with right-sided clonic movements and facial twitching for 8 minutes. Serial MRIs revealed evolution from diffusion-weighted changes suggestive of edema to left hippocampal hyperintensity on T2 images and subsequently atrophy suggestive of mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS)1 (figures 1 and 2). After seizure freedom...
Numerous functional neuroimaging techniques have progressively been added to the presurgical evaluation of refractory partial epilepsies. These investigations can help confirm the origin of seizure onset previously suggested by MR imaging and electro-clinical data, provide independent prognostic information, and provide critical diagnostic value when MR imaging results are strictly normal or sh...
UNLABELLED Basal ganglia or thalamic activation has been reported in ictal SPECT studies of patients with intractable epilepsy. We hypothesized that lateralization of activation of these subcortical structures may aid in the lateralization of seizure foci in patients in whom the cortical focus is subtle or equivocal. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of 72 ictal (99m)Tc-ethylcysteinat...
case presentation we reported a 2-year-old boy with pph, who presented unusual and intractable seizure which suggested the diagnosis of md. we also reviewed a few previous reports about the association of pph with moyamoya disease. discussion moyamoya disease is a kind of cerebral vasculopathy and should be considered as a differential diagnosis for patients with unusual seizure attacks who are...
Intractable epilepsy in children poses a serious medical challenge. Acute repetitive seizures and status epilepticus leads to frequent emergency room visits and hospital admissions. Delay of treatment may lead to resistance to the first-line anticonvulsant therapies. It has been shown that these children continue to remain intractable even after acute seizure management with approved Food and D...
OBJECT Beyond its oncological benefit, surgery could improve seizure control in paralimbic frontotemporoinsular or temporoinsular WHO Grade II gliomas generating intractable seizures. However, no studies have examined the impact of hippocampal resection on chronic epilepsy when the hippocampus is not invaded by Grade II gliomas. Here, the authors compared the epileptological outcomes and return...
OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of responsive stimulation at the seizure focus as an adjunctive therapy to reduce the frequency of seizures in adults with medically intractable partial onset seizures arising from one or two seizure foci. METHODS Randomized multicenter double-blinded controlled trial of responsive focal cortical stimulation (RNS System). Subjects with med...
One challenge in modern medicine is to control epilepsies that do not respond to currently available medications. Since seizures consist of coordinated and high-frequency neural activity, our goal was to disrupt neurotransmission with a synaptic transmission mutant and evaluate its ability to suppress seizures. We found that the mutant shibire, encoding dynamin, suppresses seizure-like activity...
Asystole can occur during partial seizures. Conversely, asystole may produce clinical features associated semiologically with partial or secondarily generalized tonic--clonic seizures. Management is so profoundly different that accurate diagnosis is critical. We performed simultaneous scalp video electroencephalographic (EEG) and electrocardiographic (ECG) recordings in three patients who prese...
