Temporal lobe dual pathology in malignant migrating partial seizures in infancy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A child had the characteristic clinical and EEG pattern of migrating partial seizures in infancy with left temporal lobe atrophy, hippocampal sclerosis and cortical-subcortical blurring. Seizures were drug-resistant, with recurring episodes of status epilepticus. The child developed microcephaly with arrest of psychomotor development. Focal brain lesions, in the context of migrating partial seizures, have not been previously reported.[Published with video sequences].

Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy associated with KCNT1 mutation
Several epilepsies such as malignant migrating partial seizures of infancy (MMPSI) and autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (ADNFLE) are caused by mutations in the sodiumactivated potassium channel named KCNT1 [1]. Together with their role in epileptic encephalopathies such as MMPSI, KCNT1 mutations are involved in intellectual disability [1]. This report highlights a new phenotyp...

BACKGROUND Malignant migrating partial seizures in infancy is a devastating pharmacoresistent epileptic encephalopathy of unknown etiology characterized by onset in the first 6 months of life, continuous migrating focal seizures with corresponding multifocal electroencephalographic discharges, developmental deterioration, and early mortality. Recent widespread interest in the nonpsychoactive co...
متن کاملNovel mechanisms underlying drug resistance in temporal lobe epilepsy.
Drug resistance is a feature of different forms of epilepsy or epileptic syndromes. It is defined as the persistence of unacceptable seizures despite reasonable pharmacotherapy and drug use to the highest tolerable dosage. It affects between 20% and 30% of patients with epilepsy overall (1). In subgroups of epilepsy patients, a particularly high incidence of drug resistance is encountered (e.g....
متن کاملDipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor ameliorates status epilepticus seizures and cognitive disturbances in a rat model of temporal lobe epilepsy
Background and Objective: In temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), recurrent seizures accompany with cognitive deficit. In some patients, the current medications cannot provide satisfactory control of seizures, therefore new drugs that act through different mechanisms are required. In the present study, the useful effect of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor was evaluated in experimental model of tempora...
متن کاملClinical commentary with video Pronounced microcephaly in a patient with malignant migrating partial seizures in infancy
Malignant migrating partial seizures in infancy is an age-specific epilepsy syndrome, resistant to conventional antiepileptic drugs in most cases. Since the first description of 14 infants in 1995, only 16 additional patients have been reported. We add a further case and present a video that shows a typical generalizing tonic seizure arising from the right temporo-occipital area and slowly spre...
