Benign neonatal sleep myoclonus: frequently misdiagnosed as neonatal seizures.

Only registered users can translate articles

18 neonates aged 5-60 days with Benign neonatal sleep myoclonus were identified. Fifteen neonates had been misdiagnosed as neonatal seizures before referral. All treatments were withdrawn once the diagnosis of benign neonatal sleep myoclonus was made. Benign neonatal sleep myoclonus should be

Polysomnographic assessment of spells in sleep: nocturnal seizures versus parasomnias.

Only registered users can translate articles

A dilemma can arise when attempting to distinguish a nocturnal seizure from a parasomnia because both phenomena can be characterized by a general increase in motor and autonomic activity with a transient reduction in the level of consciousness. An additional problem is that an accurate clinical

Benign neonatal sleep myoclonus. A differential diagnosis of neonatal seizures.

OBJECTIVE To describe 10 infants with benign neonatal sleep myoclonus. METHODS Patient series, representing the experience of one pediatric neurologist. METHODS Referral-based Pediatric Neurology Service at a Children's Hospital. METHODS Sequential sample of 10 neonates referred for assessment of

Complex nocturnal behaviors: nocturnal seizures and parasomnias.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE This article summarizes the clinical and electrophysiologic manifestations of nocturnal seizures, particularly nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (NFLE), parasomnias, and other disorders presenting with complex behaviors in sleep. The evaluation and treatment of patients with complex

Neuroethological approach to frontolimbic epileptic seizures and parasomnias: The same central pattern generators for the same behaviours.

Only registered users can translate articles

The aim of this report is not to make a differential diagnosis between epileptic nocturnal seizures and non-epileptic sleep-related movement disorders, or parasomnias. On the contrary, our goal is to emphasize the commonly shared semiological features of some epileptic seizures and parasomnias. Such

Central pattern generators for a common semiology in fronto-limbic seizures and in parasomnias. A neuroethologic approach.

Only registered users can translate articles

Central pattern generators (CPGs) are genetically determined neuronal aggregates in the mesencephalon, pons and spinal cord subserving innate motor behaviours essential for survival (feeding, locomotion, reproduction etc.). In higher primates CPGs are largely under neocortical control. We describe

Seizures with paroxysmal arousals in sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy (SHE): Dissecting epilepsy from NREM parasomnias

Only registered users can translate articles

Objective: Sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy (SHE) is a focal epilepsy characterized by seizures occurring mostly during sleep, ranging from brief seizures with paroxysmal arousals (SPAs) to hyperkinetic seizures and ambulatory behaviors.

Seizures in sleep: clinical spectrum, diagnostic features, and management.

Only registered users can translate articles

Sleep is disrupted in most patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit and the disturbances are even more profound in patients impacted by epilepsy. Nocturnal seizures must be differentiated from other common nocturnal events, such as delirium, parasomnias, and sedation. Many antiepileptic

"Nocturnal seizures" in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Only registered users can translate articles

The usual differential diagnoses of nocturnal events in children include parasomnias, nocturnal seizures, nocturnal reflux (Sandifer syndrome), hypnic jerks, periodic limb movements of sleep, and sleep disordered breathing. We report a previously healthy young girl who presented to the sleep clinic

Rhythmic teeth grinding induced by temporal lobe seizures.

Only registered users can translate articles

The authors report the clinical and polygraphic features of rhythmic teeth grinding observed in a patient as the predominant symptom related to temporal lobe seizures during sleep and wakefulness. This observation demonstrates that exceptionally a teeth-grinding event can be not only a parasomnia

The relationship between sleep problems and neuropsychological functioning in children with first recognized seizures.

Only registered users can translate articles

Epilepsy is associated with sleep disturbance, but little is known about how early this relationship develops and how it affects neuropsychological functioning. This study documented the frequency and types of sleep problems and examined how sleep problems are associated with seizures and

[Differential diagnosis of cerebral seizures].

Only registered users can translate articles

Several non-epileptic disorders may cause episodic and paroxysmal symptoms that resemble epilepsy and they must be considered in the differential diagnosis. Some of these disorders are discussed in the present review: vasovagal, vasomotor and cardiac syncopes, breath holding spells. Among the sleep
