Concentrations of immunoreactive leukotriene C4 (LTC4) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) in the cerebrospinal fluid from 18 patients with aseptic meningitis, including 2 patients with encephalitis and 4 patients with febrile seizures, were measured by a sensitive and specific radioimmunoassay; these results
BACKGROUND
Since clinical signs of meningeal irritation in infants may be absent or misleading, the American Academy of Pediatrics in 1996 recommended that a lumbar puncture be performed in young children following a febrile seizure. Recent evidence supports a conservative approach in children who
BACKGROUND
Seizures are important neurological complications of bacterial meningitis, but no information about its epidemiology and the outcomes of seizures after community-acquired bacterial meningitis (CABM) in an adult population have been reported.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the frequency, clinical
This study aimed to determine the characteristics and risk factors of adult new-onset seizure patients with tuberculous meningitis (TBM) during long-term follow-up.Patients with TBM who were seen between June 2012 and January 2018 were retrospectively BACKGROUND
Seizures are one of the most important neurologic complications of human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV)-negative cryptococcal meningitis. A better understanding of the risk associated factors can help predict those who will require treatment.
METHODS
This 22-year retrospective study
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
OBJECTIVE
National and international guidelines are very heterogeneous about the necessity to perform a lumbar puncture (LP) in children under 12 months of age with a first simple febrile seizure. We estimated the risk of bacterial meningitis in children aged 6 to 11 months with a first simple
OBJECTIVE
Simultaneous administration of phenytoin and isoniazid (INH) in tuberculous meningitis (TBM) or tuberculoma patients with seizures results in higher plasma phenytoin level and thus phenytoin intoxication. N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) enzyme catalyses two acetylation reactions in INH
We report the anaesthetic management of a term pregnant woman with active tuberculous meningitis, who had experienced seizures, had signs of raised intracranial pressure and required emergency caesarean section. Peripartum anaesthetic management of a patient with tuberculous meningitis is a rare
Although brucellosis is the most common zoonotic disease worldwide, human meningitis infected with Brucella melitensis is rare and difficult to diagnosis. Herein we describe the clinical aspects of a rare case of Brucella melitensis meningitis accompanied by epileptic We studied clinical seizure characteristics, seizure localization, and pathology in 38 patients who developed medically intractable partial seizures following meningitis (n = 16) or encephalitis (n = 22) and were evaluated for epilepsy surgery. Whereas meningitis in this group was commonly
Somatosensory-evoked reflex epilepsy is characterized by seizures in response to specific stimuli. It is highly uncommon for somatosensory-evoked focal seizures to be caused by movement or a change in posture. Reflex epilepsy induced by both somatosensory and proprioceptive stimulations has not been
A hundred clinical records of children between the ages of 6 and 18 months were examined. These previously healthy children, were hospitalized after having their first febrile seizure. Lumbar puncture were performed on 42 of them, showing the existence of meningitis in 4 cases, 2 of which were
We report a 65-years-old woman with rheumatoid meningitis presented with a generalized seizure. She has a 18-year history of rheumatoid arthritis, which has been successfully treated. She developed a generalized seizure. She was diagnosed as having subarachnoid hemorrhage, because the brain magnetic
A case of hypertrophic cranial pachymeningitis associated with intramedullary lesion was reported. A 57-year-old male presented with the symptoms of Jacksonian seizure and weakness of right lower extremity. Neurological examination showed weakness and muscular atrophy of right lower extremity (MMT
