According to the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) definition, no structural abnormalities are present on a standard brain magnetic resonance image in genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE) patients. However, recent studies raise contradictory evidence with increasing use of quantitative magnetic resonance imaging techniques. Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic, quantitative review was...
Objective
To analyze the effectiveness and tolerability of perampanel across different seizure types in routine clinical care of patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE).
Methods
This multicenter, retrospective, 1‐year observational study collected data from patient records at 21 specialist epilepsy units in Spain. All patients who were aged ≥12 years, prescribed perampanel before December...
Objective
Valproate (VPA) use in women with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) who are of reproductive age has been a matter of concern and debate, which eventually led to the recent restrictions by regulatory agencies. The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between VPA avoidance/switch and seizure outcome in women of childbearing potential.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed...
Objective
To assess prognostic patterns and investigate clinical and electroencephalography (EEG) variables associated with persistent treatment resistance in a population of genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE) patients with a long‐term follow‐up.
Methods
Data from GGE patients followed from 1975 to 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. Subjects with a follow‐up >10 years, starting from epilepsy...
Epilepsy syndromes have been recognized for >50 years, as distinct electroclinical phenotypes with therapeutic and prognostic implications. Nonetheless, no formally accepted International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) classification of epilepsy syndromes has existed. The ILAE Task Force on Nosology and Definitions was established to reach consensus regarding which entities fulfilled criteria for...
Although approximately 10%–15% of patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE)/genetic generalized epilepsy remain drug‐resistant, there is no consensus or established concept regarding the underlying mechanisms and prevalence. This review summarizes the recent data and the current hypotheses on mechanisms that may contribute to drug‐resistant IGE. A literature search was conducted in PubMed...
Objective
Epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia (EEM) has been associated with marked clinical heterogeneity. Early epilepsy onset has been recently linked to lower chances of achieving sustained remission and to a less favorable neuropsychiatric outcome. However, much work is still needed to better delineate this epilepsy syndrome.
Methods
In this multicenter retrospective cohort study, we included 267...
Objectives
Despite the prevalence of cognitive symptoms in the idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs), cognitive dysfunction in juvenile absence epilepsy (JAE), a common yet understudied IGE subtype, remains poorly understood. This descriptive study provides a novel, comprehensive characterization of cognitive functioning in a JAE sample and examines the relationship between cognition and 24‐h...
Recent morphometric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies suggested the possibility that valproate (VPA) use is associated with parieto‐occipital cortical thinning in patients with heterogeneous epilepsy syndromes. In this study, we examined the effect of VPA on the brain volume using a large number of homogenous patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy. Voxel‐based morphometry was used to...
The transmembrane α‐amino‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐methyl‐4‐isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR) regulatory proteins (TARPs), γ2 (stargazin), γ3, γ4, γ5, γ7, and γ8, are a family of proteins that regulate AMPAR trafficking, expression, and biophysical properties that could have a role in the development of absence seizures. Here, we evaluated the expression of TARPs and AMPARs across the development of epilepsy...
