We report on an apparently new syndrome in a consanguineous family with seven members, three of whom have cerebral anomalies including pachygyria and arachnoid cysts along with mental retardation and seizures. The two patients with seizure disorders also had multiple enlarged perivascular spaces
Lissencephaly or azyria, a rare disorder characterised by the absence of cerebral convolutions and poorly formed sylvlan fissures giving the appearance of a foetal brain with smooth cerebral surface, thickened cortical mantle and microscopic appearance ofincomplete neuronal migration. It is to
METHODS
An 11-month-old girl had an onset of oculogyric crisis at 2 months and she presented with epileptic spasms and generalized tonic seizures with series formation at 3 months. Her seizures were medically intractable and her development had gradually regressed after that. MRI showed severe
22q11.2 microduplication syndrome was recently described as a new disorder with variable clinical features that ranged from normal to mental retardation and with congenital defects. According to published reports, majority of patients with 22q11.2 duplications inherit these from unaffected parents
In normal and lissencephalic ferrets with chronically implanted electrodes, two antiepileptic drugs, (E)-2-[(amino)phenylmethylen]-benzo [b] thiophen-3(2H)-on (AF-CX 921 XX) and carbamazepine (CBZ), were compared. The variables included afterdischarges (AD) and seizures induced by cortical
OBJECTIVE
To present long-term outcome and to identify predictors of seizure freedom after vagus nerve stimulation (VNS).
METHODS
All patients who had undergone VNS implantation in the Epilepsy Centre Bethel were retrospectively reviewed. There were 144 patients who had undergone complete
The aim of this study was to determine the spectrum of clinical abnormalities in the agyria-pachygyria complex, to identify possible causes, and to correlate the clinical features with the extent of the lesions on magnetic resonance imaging. On the basis of the magnetic resonance imaging findings,
We report of 16 year old twinsisters with a neuronal migration disorder, twin I with mental retardation and focal epileptic seizures on MRI showed general pachygyria, laminar subcortical heterotopia and mildly dilated lateral ventricles, whereas twin II whose first symptom was a cerebral seizure
