Incidence of seizures in the elderly is nowadays greater than the one characteristic for children up to 10 years of age. Epileptic seizures are the third most common serious neurological disorder in this age group, after stroke and dementia. Optimal care for those patients, regarding to the
We report a 96-year-old Japanese man who developed a sudden onset of left hemiplegia and coma. He was found to have diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and atrial fibrillation since 1996 with occasional episodes of congestive heart failure. He was otherwise apparently well until July 5 of 1997 when he
Extensive mineralization of the aorta, brachiocephalic trunk, and the left subclavian, both iliac, common carotid, and renal arteries were found at necropsy in a 3-year-old French Lop rabbit. The rabbit had been examined previously for seizures, at which time abdominal radiography revealed
On the occasion of autopsies of 4 toxicomaniac adolescents sniffing and occasionally drinking trichlorethylene, carbon tetrachloride and gasoline severe arteriosclerotic damage of the coronary vessels was encountered. Experimental intoxication of 12 rabbits with these solvents over a period of 10
BACKGROUND
Syncope is a frequent reason for hospital admissions or emergency department visits with a broad differential diagnosis. Convulsive syncope is often falsely interpreted as an epileptic disorder. However, due to cerebral hypoperfusion, all forms of syncope can be associated with
Cavernous angiomas or cavernomas have been occasionally described in patients presenting with medically intractable epilepsy. Reports of cavernomas associated with a second pathology potentially causative of seizures have rarely been documented; most commonly, the second pathology is focal cortical
From the standpoint of nutritional needs, physiological maturation, and immunological safety the provision of foods other than breast milk before about four months of age is unnecessary and may also be harmful. On the other hand, many infants require some complementary feeding by about six months of
During two years we identified eight children aged 1.5-10 years with cerebral ischaemic stroke. Prior to the stroke seven of eight children were in full health. Predisposing factors were endocarditis and trauma. Four children had prodomal symptoms prior to the infarction. All had acute hemiparesis
BACKGROUND
Earlier studies indicate a higher risk of subsequent stroke in PWE aged ≥60. However, little is known of the incidence of subsequent stroke in people with epilepsy (PWE) aged 35 through 60. We determined the risk factors that increase the incidence of stroke following adult-onset epilepsy
The objective of the study was to review the current epidemiological evidence about the relationship between epilepsy and increased risk of cardio- and cerebrovascular events.We systematically searched MEDLINE (from inception to 19th October 2018) to Mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) is the most common cause of medically intractable temporal lobe epilepsy. Histologic findings include hippocampal atrophy with neuronal loss in the dentate, CA1, and CA3/CA4 regions with gliosis. The conventional treatment of patients with intractable epilepsy
BACKGROUND
Status epilepticus, particularly grand mal, is one of the gravest and most dramatic conditions in neurology requiring immediate attention. Status epilepticus can occur in epileptic patients, often with higher mortality rates in symptomatic than idiopathic, but also as an initial symptom
