In view of the regulatory function of the thalamus in the sleep‐wake cycle, the impact of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the anterior nucleus thalami (ANT) on sleep was assessed in a small consecutive cohort of epilepsy patients with standardized polysomnography (PSG). In nine patients treated with ANT‐DBS (voltage 5 V, frequency 145 Hz, cyclic mode), the number of arousals during stimulation and...
Neuromodulative treatment options are warranted in patients with difficult‐to‐treat epilepsy. However, acquisition of controlled data on deep brain stimulation has so far been achieved only for the centromedian and anterior thalamic nucleus. In a case series of four patients with intractable partial epilepsy, a randomized controlled cross‐over protocol was used to get insight into efficacy and safety...
Purpose: This study investigates immediate efficacy and safety of intravenous application of de novo lacosamide (LCM) as add‐on therapy in patients with pharmacoresistant focal epilepsy.
Methods: During presurgical video–electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring, 17 adult inpatients received LCM infusion (200 mg every 12 h for 2–3 days) followed by oral formulation with the same regimen. Before and...
Periventricular nodular heterotopias (PNHs) are frequently associated with pharmacoresistant epilepsy. They are considered part of a dysfunctional network, connected to the overlying cortex. Therefore, removal of the PNHs and additional cortectomy or lobectomy seem to be essential for significant and long‐lasting seizure reduction. These procedures, however, can have considerable limitations, especially...
