Background Once adults with long-standing idiopathic generalised epilepsy have achieved stable seizure remission, patients or physicians may attempt to discontinue their antiepileptic drug treatment. To date, risk of subsequent seizure relapse across the four idiopathic generalised epilepsy syndromes is largely unknown, and so are the clinical variables associated. Methods For this retrospective...
Objective
Until now, it has been unclear if the three subsyndromes of adolescent‐onset generalized genetic epilepsy (GGE) differ in long‐term prognosis. Therefore, this study aimed to compare long‐term seizure outcome in juvenile absence epilepsy (JAE), juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), and epilepsy with generalized tonic–clonic seizures alone (EGTCS).
Methods
This retrospective study is based...
Epilepsy with grand mal on awakening (EGMA) is a well‐defined subtype of idiopathic generalized epilepsy. Patients with follow‐up of at least 20 years were assessed retrospectively regarding 5‐year terminal seizure remission. Forty‐two patients were included (mean age = 60 ± 13 years). After follow‐up of 40 ± 13 years, 26 patients (62%) were in remission, 5 without antiepileptic drugs. Age at investigation...
