We report a 48-year-old man who suffered from viral encephalitis and developed involuntary movements of the hands and astatic seizures as sequelae. T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed high intensity areas in the bilateral insulae. Electroencephalography (EEG) revealed spike
Five young children developed slowly progressive hemiparesis as the initial manifestation of Rasmussen encephalitis (RE). Three have remained seizure free over an observational period of 1.3-1.9 years. In the remaining two patients, seizures occurred after 0.5 and 0.6 years respectively. We suggest
Anti-Leucine-rich glioma-inactivated-1 encephalitis is a subtype of autoimmune encephalitis characterized by cognitive impairment, faciobrachial dystonic seizures, and behavioural changes. There is no reported case from Nepal. We report a case of a 54-year old male who presented with abnormal body
This report describes a rare case presenting with dystonic seizures due to anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis. The patient was an 18-year-old woman with repeated right-dominant dystonic seizures even under sedation. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) showed
A 20-year-old woman was admitted for psychosis. On further investigation, she was found to be have viral encephalitis and generalized nonconvulsive seizures. After the seizures were controlled, she remained in a prolonged catatonic state. Repeated intravenous benzodiazepine administration, improved
Anti-leucine-richglioma inactivated protein 1 (LGI1) encephalitis has an autoimmune origin and can be reversed with immunotherapy. It is obvious that identifying and treating this condition early is of paramount importance. We present the case of a 69-year-old man who was admitted to hospital with
BACKGROUND
Viral encephalitis is characterised by diverse clinical and epidemiological features. Seizures are an important clinical manifestation and are associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Patients may have seizures during the acute illness or they may develop after recovery. There
An animal model of focal herpes simplex encephalitis was used to study several strains of type-1 herpes simplex virus. Rabbits were inoculated in the olfactory bulb by a standardized technique. Virus strains resulting in mortality of greater than 70% produced seizures of 3 types, and all animals
Tc-99m HMPAO brain SPECT was performed in a patient who had partial complex seizures for 1 year after successful acyclovir treatment of biopsy-proven herpes simplex encephalitis 2 years earlier. In spite of antiepileptic medications, her seizures were intractable and occurred daily. Tc-99m HMPAO was
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been applied with variable success to terminate the seizures of epilepsia partialis continua. The rationale for using this technique to suppress ongoing seizures is the capacity of rTMS to interrupt ongoing neuronal activity, and to produce a
Influenza A in hospitalized adults uncommonly may present with neurologic manifestations, e.g., encephalitis. Encephalitis is the most common influenza related neurologic complication in adults, However, seizures in hospitalized adults due to influenza are extremely rare. This is a case of a 58 year
OBJECTIVE
To estimate the rates of bacterial meningitis and herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis in children presenting with complex febrile seizures.
METHODS
Health records from 2002 to 2006 of all children 6 months to 6 years with a discharge diagnosis from the Hospital for Sick Children
Encephalitis is an inflammation and swelling of the brain, which is often caused by a viral infection; it is an important cause of acute symptomatic seizures as well as subsequent epilepsy. Herein we describe the definition, epidemiology, and etiology of encephalitis as a cause of seizures. We then
To investigate the long-term seizure outcome in patients with convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) due to acute encephalitis and identify early predictors for terminal seizure remission.Based on a prospective registry of CSE, consecutive patients with CSE This article reviews epilepsy emergencies, including status epilepticus, acute repetitive seizures, autoimmune encephalitis, and the current perspective on their diagnosis and treatment.Recent guidelines on the treatment of status epilepticus from the
