Abnormal quantitative EEG scores identify patients with complicated idiopathic generalised epilepsy
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between quantitative EEG (QEEG) scores and "complicating factors" (psychopathology, true pharmacoresistance, neurological symptoms) in idiopathic generalised epilepsy (IGE). METHODS 35 newly referred, newly diagnosed, unmedicated IGE patients were collected in a prospective and random manner. Standard neuro-psychiatric and EEG examination was done. Th...
متن کاملAnnual variations of quantitative EEG in patients with chronic epilepsy.
PURPOSE Annual changes in powers of the close-eyed EEG were measured over 12 months in 12 patients with epilepsy. MATERIAL AND METHODS The present study included 12 patients aged 14.6+/-2.7 years with chronic epilepsy, suffering for 6-14 years. EEGs were recorded every month between 9 and 11 a.m. Five patients had generalized seizures and 7 partial complex seizures secondarily generalized. Vi...
متن کاملLevetiracetam treatment of idiopathic generalised epilepsy
Levetiracetam (LEV) is effective for treating localisation-related epilepsy, but it is uncertain whether it is effective for treating idiopathic generalised epilepsy. We compared 12-week baseline and LEV treatment periods for patients with generalised seizure types-myoclonic, tonic-clonic and absence seizures--who had failed other anticonvulsants. The majority of 55 patients (76%) had >50% seiz...
متن کامل[Idiopathic generalised epilepsy. The value of semiology and EEG scanning in its classification].
INTRODUCTION The different syndromes included in the idiopathic generalized epilepsies present an important overlapping of their electroclinical characteristics. AIM To compare the two actual classifications (International classification of epileptic syndromes: ILAE of 1989 and of 2001) in a sample of patients with idiopathic generalised epilepsy (IGE) and to evaluate which electro-clinical f...
متن کاملNo effects of the gonadal hormones on photoparoxysmal EEG responses in idiopathic generalised epilepsy
PURPOSE It is accepted that the estradiol hormone is proconvulsant and progesterone is anti-convulsant. In this study the effects of gonadal hormones on photoparoxysmal responses on EEG in idiopathic generalised epilepsy were researched. METHOD Twenty-two women with photosensitive idiopathic generalised epilepsy having regular menstrual cycles were recruited into the study. Patients presentin...
