Epilepsy associated with systemic autoimmune disorders.
Systemic autoimmune disorders affect multiple organ systems. Brain involvement commonly causes seizures, which may be the presenting symptom. Systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjorgren's syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis, sarcoidsosis, celiac disease, Crohn's disease, Behcet's, and Hashimoto's encephalopathy are reviewed. Mechanisms underlying CNS pathology in systemic autoimmune disorders-and spe...
متن کاملAutoimmune Neurologic Disorders
Autoimmune disorders affect 5-10% of the general population, [1] and often involve central and peripheral nervous system. In this special issue of Current Neuropharmacology experts discuss pathophysiology, clinical features and treatment of various neurologic autoimmune disorders. In the last decade we have witnessed remarkable scientific advances which have greatly improved our understanding o...
متن کاملGlutamatergic Mechanisms Associated with Seizures and Epilepsy.
Epilepsy is broadly characterized by aberrant neuronal excitability. Glutamate is the predominant excitatory neurotransmitter in the adult mammalian brain; thus, much of past epilepsy research has attempted to understand the role of glutamate in seizures and epilepsy. Seizures induce elevations in extracellular glutamate, which then contribute to excitotoxic damage. Chronic seizures can alter n...
متن کاملChromosomal disorders associated with epilepsy.
Epilepsy is among the most common findings associated with chromosome aberrations, particularly those involving autosomal chromosome imbalances. Most chromosome aberrations can be associated with different seizure types, but there are a few aberrations featuring specific seizure and electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns. The analysis of electro-clinical patterns associated with chromosomal abe...
