Epileptic spasms in older pediatric patients: MEG and ictal high-frequency oscillations suggest focal-onset seizures in a subset of epileptic spasms.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To elucidate the pathophysiology of intractable epileptic spasms in older children by describing the interictal magnetoencephalography spike sources (MEGSSs), intracranial EEG ictal-onset zones (IOZs) and their ictal high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) and surgical outcomes. METHODS We

Recurrence of Epileptic Spasms as Reflex Seizures Induced by Eating: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Only registered users can translate articles

Background Eating epilepsy (EE) is a rare form of reflex epilepsy in which seizures are induced by eating. It is known that most patients with eating seizures, in fact, suffer from symptomatic temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), whereas only a few patients with epileptic spasms induced by eating (E-ES)

OBJECTIVE This study sought to evaluate the seizure outcome of infantile spasms (IS) with focal cortical dysplasia (FCD). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed infantile spasms patients with FCD from 2004 to 2010. We investigated seizure outcome from antiepileptic drug (AED), ketogenic diet (KD),

Cortical high-frequency oscillation loops initiate spasm seizures.

Some epileptic spasms are classified into focal-onset seizures. However, the cortical network underlying this kind of spasm seizure is not yet clear. Four patients with epileptic spasms who underwent intracranial electrode implantation and focal resection surgery were studied. All the patients had

Are Epileptic Spasms a Seizure Type for the Insular Region?

Only registered users can translate articles

Two patients with insular and striatal postnatal scar had epileptic spasms (ES) that were asymmetrical and the only seizure type, whereas none of the usual ictal symptoms of insular seizures occurred. Ictal electroencephalography (EEG) showed the high-amplitude slow-wave characteristic of ES.

Effects of adrenal dysfunction and high-dose adrenocorticotropic hormone on NMDA-induced spasm seizures in young Wistar rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Infantile spasms (IS) is a devastating epilepsy syndrome treated with adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). To demonstrate the effects of adrenal dysfunction, adrenalectomy (ADX) and N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA)-induced rat model studies of IS were performed. The latency of the seizure in the ADX group

Vagoglossopharyngeal Neuralgia Occurred Concomitantly with Ipsilateral Hemifacial Spasm and Versive Seizure-Like Movement: A First Case Report.

Only registered users can translate articles

Vagoglossopharyngeal neuralgia (VGPN) is a very rare condition. VGPN with convulsive like attack is even rarer All of the cases had their head turned to the opposite side of facial pain. Hemifacial spasm occurring concurrently with VGPN has never been reported. Herein, we present the first case of

Cluster of epileptic spasms preceded by focal seizures observed in localization-related epilepsy.

Only registered users can translate articles

This study observed six cases of localization-related epilepsy (LRE) with a cluster of epileptic spasms (ES) preceded by focal seizures (FS), defined as FS-ES. Initially, the FS was observed at a mean age 13 months; subsequently FS-ES occurred at the mean age 6 years and 3 months. The average

[Benign familial neonatal convulsions in a family with one member with infantile spasms].

Only registered users can translate articles

A pedigree of benign familial neonatal convulsions (BFNC) was reported. Seven members of two generations experienced convulsions in the neonatal period and/or in early infancy. All of these members except one had a good prognosis. One member who had infantile spasms was uneventfully delivered at 37

Infantile spasms in one member of a family with benign familial neonatal convulsions.

Only registered users can translate articles

Seven members of two generations experienced benign familial neonatal convulsions (BFNC) in the neonatal period and/or early infancy. All but 1 family member had a good prognosis. One family member with infantile spasms (IS) was delivered by cesarean section at 37 weeks gestation. Birth weight

Botulinum toxin for painful spasms from focal seizures: theoretical considerations and case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Botulinum toxin (BTX) has been used to treat muscle overactivity and can reduce pain from muscle spasm. There are no previous reports to our knowledge of using BTX to treat the pain from intractable focal motor seizures. METHODS We present a case of chronic, focal, muscle pain, and spasm

A case of infantile spasms: epileptic apnea as partial seizures at onset.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report a 2-month-old boy who presented with apneic attacks as a manifestation of epileptic seizures at onset and eventually progressed to infantile spasms. At onset, at 2 months of age, apneic attacks were the sole symptom of epileptic fits. Although these seizures were accompanied by cyanosis,

Epileptic spasms in epilepsy with myoclonic-atonic seizures (Doose syndrome).

OBJECTIVE To describe the occurrence of epileptic spasms in epilepsy with myoclonic-atonic seizures (EMAS) or Doose syndrome. METHODS Case descriptions of patients with EMAS and epileptic spasms. Diagnosis of EMAS was performed according to the following criteria: (1) onset of myoclonic,

Focal seizures versus epileptic spasms in children with focal cortical dysplasia and epilepsy onset in the first year.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) has been recognized as one of the most frequent causes of drug resistant epilepsy, especially in children. In infancy, onset of FCD-related epilepsy is substantially characterized by epileptic spasms (ES) or focal seizures. Which elements pertaining to the
