Focal-onset myoclonic seizures and secondary bilateral synchrony.
We present a child with myoclonic seizures, epileptic spasms and generalized epileptiform discharges on scalp EEG. Magnetoencephalography and coherence-phase analysis for scalp EEG suggested focal onset in the left hemisphere. Intracranial video EEG confirmed seizure onset in the left frontal lobe with ictal high-frequency oscillations. Left frontal lobectomy suppressed his seizures. Subsets of...
متن کاملMechanisms underlying different onset patterns of focal seizures
Focal seizures are episodes of pathological brain activity that appear to arise from a localised area of the brain. The onset patterns of focal seizure activity have been studied intensively, and they have largely been distinguished into two types-low amplitude fast oscillations (LAF), or high amplitude spikes (HAS). Here we explore whether these two patterns arise from fundamentally different ...
متن کاملClinical and etiological profile of new onset focal seizures.
To evaluate the etiological profile of new onset focal seizures in adults with the help of neuroimaging studies, Immunological methods in a tertiary care hospital in Chennai. 50 Cases of new onset focal seizures were included in the study. The etiology was determined by neuroimaging and appropriate investigations were done. In the age group of 18-70 yrs maximum cases were seen between 18-30 yrs...
متن کاملBrivaracetam: a novel antiepileptic drug for focal-onset seizures
Brivaracetam (BRV), the n-propyl analogue of levetiracetam (LEV), is the latest antiepileptic drug (AED) to be licensed in Europe and the USA for the adjunctive treatment of focal-onset seizures with or without secondary generalization in patients aged 16 years or older. Like LEV, BRV binds to synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A), but BRV has more selective binding and a 15- to 30-fold higher bin...
متن کاملEffects of adjunctive eslicarbazepine acetate on neurocognitive functioning in children with refractory focal-onset seizures
PURPOSE This was a phase-II, randomized, double-blind (DB), placebo-controlled study aimed to evaluate neurocognitive effects of eslicarbazepine acetate (ESL) as adjunctive therapy in pediatric patients with refractory focal-onset seizures (FOS). METHODS Children (6-16years old) with FOS were randomized (2:1) to ESL or placebo. Treatment started at 10mg/kg/day, was up-titrated up to 30mg/kg/d...
