Diagnostic delay in psychogenic seizures and the association with anti-seizure medication trials
PURPOSE The average delay from first seizure to diagnosis of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) is over 7 years. The reason for this delay is not well understood. We hypothesized that a perceived decrease in seizure frequency after starting an anti-seizure medication (ASM) may contribute to longer delays, but the frequency of such a response has not been well established. METHODS Time ...
متن کاملO 23: Anti-Inflammatory Treatment in Children with Refractory Seizure
Epilepsy is a neurological disease of the central nervous system. It is estimated that about 50-70 million people worldwide suffer from this chronic disorder and 20 to 30% are resistant to conventional anti-epileptic drugs. In the epilepsy therapeutic arena, there is real need for developing novel antiepileptogenesis treatments that offer a way to prevent the onset or the progression of the dis...
متن کاملSeizure Recurrence in Rural Zambian Children Admitted with Febrile Seizures
Background: Long-term outcomes following febrile seizures in African children are not well described, but malaria-associated seizures are a risk factor for epilepsy. Design/Methods: 107 consecutive children admitted with febrile seizures (FS group) were age-matched to concurrently admitted children with febrile illness and no seizure, or febrile illness only (FIO). Quarterly follow-up assessmen...
متن کاملCan Seizure-Alert Dogs predict seizures?
An index observation where a dog was trained to alert to, as well as respond to, human tonic-clonic seizures led to further research and refinement of training techniques. This was followed by anecdotal reports of pet dogs spontaneously anticipating human epileptic seizures. An industry has since developed training Seizure-Alert Dogs (SADs) to give humans warnings of their seizures. In some cas...
متن کاملFirst seizure: do multiple seizures predict recurrence?
The decision of whether to treat a seizure with anticonvulsant medication is a common one, and one with important implications. Unlike many diseases, treatment for epilepsy does not eliminate the disease. Treatment reduces the odds of a subsequent seizure, thereby reducing potential morbidity and mortality. The decision to treat depends on the magnitude of the recurrence risk, and must be weigh...
