Significance: The results highlight the importance of detailed epilepsy information for families.
2
Objectives: The management of intractable epilepsy in children is a challenging problem.
3
NICE introduced extremely restrictive guidelines; and few epilepsy patients received a prescription.
4
Results: The average duration of epilepsy in this group was 20 years.
5
Animal studies and clinical observations suggest that epilepsy is associated with inflammation.
1
Specific features of epileptiform discharges are associated with clinical seizures in AD.
2
Seventeen children had no focal interictal epileptiform discharges in EEG at follow-up.
3
These findings suggest that cooling may disrupt network synchrony necessary for epileptiform activity.
4
Cooling dramatically attenuated gamma oscillation and abolished epileptiform bursts in a reversible manner.
5
However, the incidence of subclinical epileptiform activity in AD and its consequences are unknown.
1
Background: Childhood absence epilepsy is a common generalized epilepsysyndrome characterized by childhood onset of frequent sporadic absence seizures.
2
We believe that frontal onset absences should be considered as a secondarily generalized epilepsysyndrome, originating in the frontal regions.
3
All cases reported in 2006-2008 were analyzed retrospectively; available clinical information was reevaluated and classified by seizure type and epilepsysyndrome.
4
Autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (ADNFLE) is a familial partial epilepsysyndrome characterized by seizures suggesting a frontal lobe origin occurring predominantly during sleep.
5
Patients with a wide range of epilepsysyndromes and etiologies were registered.
1
Thus, impairment of potassium-dependent repolarization is likely to cause this age-specific epilepticsyndrome.
2
Generally, West syndrome is an intractable epilepticsyndrome in infancy, although spontaneous remission has been reported in some cases.
3
Treatment is most successful when tailored to the particular seizure type, epilepticsyndrome, and special needs of the individual patient.
4
Lennox-Gastaut syndrome is a severe childhood epilepticsyndrome with encephalopathy and multiple seizure types, which are often intractable to treatment.
5
Generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) is an early onset febrile epilepticsyndrome with therapeutic responsive (a)febrile seizures continuing later in life.
1
Epilepsy is a common seizuredisorder affecting approximately 70 million people worldwide.
2
Sure enough, Seth read that Dustin did have a well-documented seizuredisorder.
3
Edsel had a seizuredisorder that required medication and a special diet.
4
The mother-of-two was diagnosed with PTSD and non-epileptic seizuredisorder in 2008.
5
This area was ultimately resected because of persistence of a severe seizuredisorder.
