Regulatory agencies have recently discouraged the prescription of topiramate (TPM) to women of childbearing potential with epilepsy due to growing evidence of the teratogenic and neurodevelopmental risks associated with its use during pregnancy. It remains, however, unclear whether the use of TPM in this population can be supported to some extent by its high effectiveness. In this multicenter, retrospective,...
Objective
Eyelid myoclonia with absences (EMA) is a syndrome characterized by eyelid myoclonia with or without absences, eye closure‐induced generalized electroencephalographic (EEG) paroxysms and photosensitivity. Few data are available about the prognostic factors of this syndrome. The main objectives of our study were to describe the clinical and EEG features of a group of patients with EMA and...
It is unclear whether the outcome of status epilepticus (SE), a neurological emergency associated with high mortality and morbidity, has changed over the past decade. We investigated the difference in prognosis (mortality, functional status at discharge) after adult SE episodes in a large registry between 2 time points (the years 2009 and 2017), exploring factors potentially associated with outcome,...
Objective
It is well known that sleep‐related motor seizures can originate from the temporal lobe. However, little is known about the clinical features of minor motor manifestations during sleep in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. The main objective of our study was to verify the existence of minor motor events during sleep in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) and to define...
To compare anatomo-electro-clinical findings between patients with epilepsy associated with leukoaraiosis only (EAL) and patients with a well-defined vascular lesion, i.e. post-stroke epilepsy (PSE).Two hundred eighty-three subjects with epilepsy and cerebrovascular disease, consecutively seen in our epilepsy centres from January 2000 to March 2014, were retrospectively considered. Inclusion criteria...
