OBJECTIVE
To describe successful oral bromocriptine therapy for hyperprolactinemia accompanied by seizure disorder and encephalomalacia identified during infertility evaluation.
METHODS
A 32 year-old male with an unspecified seizure disorder was referred for infertility consultation. The initial
Sulfite oxidase is a mitochondrial enzyme encoded by the SUOX gene and essential for the detoxification of sulfite which results mainly from the catabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids. Decreased activity of this enzyme can either be due to mutations in the SUOX gene or secondary to defects in
A 33-year-old woman had begun having intractable somatosensory seizures affecting the left hand since the age of 13 years. Occasionally, her seizures progressed to left arm posturing followed by secondary generalization. Scalp EEG revealed interictal epileptiform discharges in the right posterior
To analyze the impact of magnetoencephalography (MEG) results on surgical outcomes in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy secondary to encephalomalacia.We retrospectively reviewed 121 patients with drug-resistant epilepsy associated with encephalomalacia OBJECTIVE
Because focal encephalomalacia is an important cause of medically intractable partial epilepsy and few studies have evaluated the efficacy and the safety of resecting focal-encephalomalacias to improve seizure control, we studied a cohort of 17 consecutive patients who underwent resection
Two initially healthy infants developed acute encephalopathic illnesses characterized by stupor, seizures, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) erythrocytic and monocytic pleocytosis, increased CSF protein, and decreased CSF glucose and progression to chronic decerebration. In one case, herpes simplex virus
BACKGROUND
Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) and herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) are common neurological diseases involving the brain parenchyma, and both can result in chronic epilepsy. Here, we identified possible variables affecting the prognosis of central nervous system (CNS) infection-related
This study characterized structural abnormalities associated with onset of seizures in children, using magnetic resonance imaging and a standardized classification system in a large prospective cohort. Two hundred eighty-one children aged 6-14 years completed magnetic resonance imaging within 6
A 31-year-old man with medication-refractory seizures in the context of right mesial temporal lobe sclerosis and right occipital encephalomalacia is described. He experienced the onset of obsessive-compulsive symptoms following resection of the right hippocampus and right occipital pole.
To evaluate long-term outcomes and prognostic factors in patients who underwent surgical resection for drug-resistant epilepsy secondary to encephalomalacia.A total of 143 patients with drug-resistant epilepsy who underwent surgical resection with a OBJECTIVE
Porencephalic cyst/encephalomalacia (PC/E) is a brain lesion caused by ischemic insult or hemorrhage. The authors evaluated magnetoencephalography (MEG) spike sources (MEGSS) to localize the epileptogenic zone in children with intractable epilepsy secondary to PC/E.

Schimke immunoosseous dysplasia (SID) is a rare, pleiotropic disorder compromising spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, nephrotic syndrome, defective T-cell-mediated immunity, and vascular changes which can lead to cerebral infarcts. The cause is unknown but an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern has
The authors performed a pathological examination of a 5-year-old female laboratory Japanese monkey who developed cortical blindness and epileptic seizures. Generalized, tonic-clonic seizures started to occur during behavioral training to get the animal to enter a carrying cage for future
