BACKGROUND
While tonic pupils have been attributed to various diseases, including syphilis, herpes zoster, orbital trauma, temporal arteritis, endometriosis, and paraneoplastic syndromes, obstructive hydrocephalus has not been implicated.
METHODS
A 36-year-old woman visited a neurology department
In 94 previously untreated new referrals to a neurological clinic with tonic-clonic or partial seizures or both the failure rate for optimum single-drug treatment with phenytoin or carbamazepine after a median of 32 months was 17%. Failure of single-drug treatment was associated especially with the
Benign myoclonus of early infancy, first described by Fejerman and Lombroso, is a paroxysmal phenomenon of the first 2 years of life which occurs in neurologically healthy infants during wakefulness, and is usually triggered by excitement or frustration. We studied the neurophysiological features of
Of the epileptic syndromes beginning in early infancy, we described the clinical and electrical characteristics of early myoclonic encephalopathy (EME) and Ohtahara syndrome (OS), and the differential diagnosis between the two syndromes, reviewing previous articles and our own study of 6 cases with
We have studied 124 children with typical absence epilepsy. The onset of symptoms was in 12% under 4 years, in 51% between 4-8 years and in 37% above 8 years. The F:M ratio was 2:1 in children under 4 years versus 1:1 above 8 years. Absences alone occurred in 82% and absences followed or preceded by
In the last three decades it became evident that the GABAergic system plays an essential role for the development of the central nervous system, by influencing the proliferation of neuronal precursors, neuronal migration and differentiation, as well as by controlling early activity patterns and thus
Community-based studies and our own prospective hospital-based studies suggest that the prognosis for control of epilepsy is more favorable than previously reported. Approximately three quarters of newly diagnosed patients can enter prolonged remission on currently available medication. The first 2
All night sleep/wake EEGs were examined for diagnostic features sensitive to early Alzheimer's disease (AD) using computer automated techniques. Thirty-nine mild AD patients and 43 normal controls underwent 9 h of EEG recording in the sleep laboratory. All-night EEGs were screened for ideal, low
BACKGROUND
Ohtahara syndrome (early infantile epileptic encephalopathy with suppression bursts), is the earliest developing form of epileptic encephalopathy. ETHIOLOGY: It considered to be a result of static structural developing brain damage.
METHODS
Variable seizures develop mostly within the
BACKGROUND
The question of whether to start antiepileptic treatment after a single unprovoked seizure remains controversial and has been the subject of much debate in the relevant literature.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the rate of recurrence of a second attack after a single unprovoked epileptic seizure
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the asymmetrical tonic neck reflex (ATNR) and the occurrence of scoliosis in healthy children. One hundred eighty-four children, between the ages of 10 years, 5 months to 13 years, 10 months, who attended a rural elementary school
Non-epileptic paroxysmal disorders (NEPD) include a heterogeneous group of disorders that can be confused with epileptic manifestations. They occur very frequently in the first year of life and are expressed predominantly as unusual movements. We report the clinical and EEG-polygraphic
The authors review the seizure incidence in 4232 adult patients with mild closed head injury who did not receive prophylactic anticonvulsant agents. One hundred patients (2.36%) experienced seizures within 1 week after head injury; 43 of these (1.02% of the series) had seizures within 24 hours after
