Absence seizures in children.
INTRODUCTION About 10% of seizures in children with epilepsy are typical absence seizures. Absence seizures have a significant impact on quality of life. METHODS AND OUTCOMES We conducted a systematic review and aimed to answer the following clinical question: What are the effects of treatments for typical absence seizures in children? We searched: Medline, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and o...
متن کاملDisinhibition-induced transitions between absence and tonic-clonic epileptic seizures
Electrophysiological experiments have long revealed the existence of two-way transitions between absence and tonic-clonic epileptic seizures in the cerebral cortex. Based on a modified spatially-extended Taylor &Baier neural field model, we here propose a computational framework to mathematically describe the transition dynamics between these epileptic seizures. We first demonstrate the existen...
متن کاملNeurochemical and Behavioral Features in Genetic Absence Epilepsy and in Acutely Induced Absence Seizures
The absence epilepsy typical electroencephalographic pattern of sharp spikes and slow waves (SWDs) is considered to be due to an interaction of an initiation site in the cortex and a resonant circuit in the thalamus. The hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated cationic I h pacemaker channels (HCN) play an important role in the enhanced cortical excitability. The role of thalamic HCN...
متن کاملNetwork Models of Absence Seizures
Absence epilepsy is a very common disorder in young children and consists of seizures that are characterizedby the sudden onset of w3 Hz large-amplitude oscillations in the electroencephalogram (EEG) (Figure 2.1). These generalized seizures terminate as suddenly as they appear, and brain activity almost immediately reverts back to normal activity. The typical pattern of the oscillation consists...
متن کاملTypical absence seizures and their treatment.
Typical absences (previously known as petit mal) are generalised seizures that are distinctively diVerent from any other type of epileptic fit. They are pharmacologically unique and demand special attention in their treatment. The prevalence of typical absences among children with epilepsies is about 10%, probably with a female preponderance. Typical absences are easy to diagnose and treat. The...
