Focal cerebral magnetic resonance changes associated with partial status epilepticus.
We report 2 patients with transient abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) associated with partial status epilepticus (SE). A man with a 4-month history of partial seizures had complex partial SE for 9 days, with left temporal maximum on ictal EEG. Left temporal lobe T2 signal was increased on MRI during SE, but cerebral MRI was normal 9 weeks later. A woman with "cryptogenic" tempor...
متن کاملPartial Status Epilepticus Associated With Asomatognosia and Alien HandLike Behaviors
Observation: A 61-year-old woman with a right hemisphere glioblastoma multiforme developed movements of the left hand that she claimed were not under her control, and she denied ownership of the affected limb. Simultaneous electroencephalograms documented continuous spikes in the right frontotemporal region. Intravenous diazepam therapy (2.5 mg) reversed both the abnormal movements and the spik...
متن کاملComplex partial status epilepticus associated with cyclosporin A therapy.
Significant neurotoxicity including seizures, encephalopathy and coma may complicate the use of cyclosporin A (CyA). Two patients are described, receiving CyA, who presented with abnormal behaviour, stupor, focal motor activity and were shown to be in complex partial status epilepticus (CPSE). Abnormalities of behaviour and/or stupor in patients receiving CyA may be a manifestation of CPSE. Pat...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in nonconvulsive status epilepticus.
BACKGROUND In human and experimental models, diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) findings in status epilepticus (SE) have been reported to show that apparent diffusion coefficients are reduced during the initial phase and normalized or increased in the later phase of prolonged SE. This effect is caused by cytotoxic edema induced by excitotoxicity. In humans, only focal DWI abnor...
متن کاملBrain magnetic resonance in status epilepticus: A focused review
PURPOSE Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency with multiple etiologies and a complex pathophysiology, which is incompletely understood. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) represents a noninvasive tool to increase our knowledge about epileptogenesis. This paper aims to review the main MRI findings in SE. METHOD We conducted a search in Medline database using the terms "MRI", ...
