Abstract:

Focal-onset seizures account for approximately 40% of seizures in children. Focal seizures are most commonly associated with underlying brain pathology in extreme age groups. Clinical correlation and localizing the site of the lesion play an important role in the early diagnosis and proper management of focal seizures in children. Objectives: To study the clinical profile and correlation of EEG and CT findings in children admitted to the paediatric ward of Medical College.A prospective study on the correlation of focal seizures, CT brain, and EEG studies was carried out in children in the age

<strong>Abstract</strong> <strong>Introduction</strong><strong>:</strong> Simple focal seizures, also known as auras, occur in one area on one side of the brain, but may spread from there (1). The person does not lose consciousness during a simple focal seizure. Physicians typically break simple focal seizures down into the following four areas, depending on the location in the brain and parts of the body affected: <strong>Motor</strong>: A simple focal seizure with motor symptoms will affect muscle activity, causing jerking movements of a foot, the face, an arm or another part of the body(2).

Abstract:

Epilepsy is a chronic non-communicable disease of the brain that affects people of all ages. It is diagnosed in 2.4 million people annually. Epilepsy includes focal seizures that are more common than generalized ones. The incidence of focal epilepsy in the population reaches 0.5– 0.8%. Resistant types account for approximately 30% of all epilepsy forms, especially in patients with focal seizures. Thereby, the main task of epilepsy treatment is to control seizures. Patients with a newly diagnosed focal epilepsy in 55–68% of cases achieve long-term remission of seizures. Adding that, there is a

Abstract Treatment of patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy relies upon accurate seizure localization.

Moreover, there are age-specific changes in the semiology/types of seizures that might be the result of the differences in the connectivity and functionality of different brain regions.

Abstract Recent work suggests an important role for cortical–subcortical networks in seizure-related loss of consciousness. Temporal lobe seizures disrupt subcortical arousal systems, which may lead to depressed cortical function and loss of consciousness. Extracellular recordings show ictal neocortical slow waves at about 1 Hz, but it is not known whether these simply represent seizure propagation or alternatively deep sleep-like activity, which should include cortical neuronal Up and Down states. In this study, using in vivo whole-cell recordings in a rat model of focal limbic seizures, we d

Abstract:

Background: Evaluating the differential impact of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy across various seizure types, our study explores its efficacy specifically in patients with categorized minor and major seizures. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving 76 patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy treated at the University Emergency Hospital of Bucharest between 2021 and 2024. Seizures were classified as ‘minor’ (including focal-aware and non-motor/absence seizures) and ‘major’ (including focal to bilateral tonic-clonic and generalized motor seizures), based on modified

Introduction: Evidence of focal electrocortical discharges, with or without evident partial seizures in patients with childhood absence epilepsies (CAE) is rare, but possible. The aim of this study was to establish the frequency of focal electroencephalographic discharges with or without clinical evidence in children with CAE and to explore the clinical course in patients with two types of epileptic seizures: simple absences and partial seizures. Patients and methods: During a 10-year period (1998-2008) we treated and followed-up 66 patients (35 girls and 31 boy), from 1.8 to 13 years of age (

Abstract:

Genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) is characterized by a group of genetic epilepsies associated predominately with an autosomal dominant pattern, but also with de novo and autosomal-recessive inheritance, these last two found in a small number of cases. It was believed that GEFS+ is associated only with generalized seizures, but now the term “genetic epilepsy” is preferred because it has been demonstrated that GEFS+ is associated with both generalized and focal seizures. The “GEFS+ family” was defined as a family with more than two individuals with GEFS+ phenotypes, including

Abstract:

Since the formal characterization of sleep stages, there have been reports that seizures may preferentially occur in certain phases of sleep. Through ascending cholinergic connections from the brainstem, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is physiologically characterized by low voltage fast activity on the electroencephalogram, REMs, and muscle atonia. Multiple independent studies confirm that, in REM sleep, there is a strikingly low proportion of seizures (~1% or less). We review a total of 42 distinct conventional and intracranial studies in the literature which comprised a net of 1458 patients.

Although epilepsy is a dynamic disorder characterized by pathological fluctuations in brain state, surprisingly little is known about whether and how seizures vary in the same patient. We quantitatively compared within-patient seizure network evolutions using intracranial electroencephalographic (iEEG) recordings of over 500 seizures from 31 patients with focal epilepsy (mean 16.5 seizures per patient).

Abstract A seizure’s electrographic dynamics are characterised by its spatiotemporal evolution, also termed dynamical “pathway,” and the time it takes to complete that pathway, which results in the seizure’s duration. Both seizure pathways and durations have been shown to vary within the same patient. However, it is unclear whether seizures following the same pathway will have the same duration or if these features can vary independently. We compared within-subject variability in these seizure features using 1) epilepsy monitoring unit intracranial EEG (iEEG) recordings of 31 patients (mean 6.
