Abstract The ILAE Neuroimaging Task Force publishes educational case reports that highlight basic aspects of neuroimaging in epilepsy, consistent with ILAE's mission. In patients drug‐resistant focal epilepsy who are candidates for surgical intervention, the identification structural abnormalities is a strong predictor favorable postoperative seizure outcomes. When conventional imaging insufficient, integration multimodal data structural, metabolic, and functional modalities often helpful....
Abstract Study Objectives Sleep inertia is a frequent and disabling symptom in idiopathic hypersomnia (IH), but poorly defined without objective measures. The study was to determine whether the psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) can reliably measure sleep patients with IH or other disorders (non-IH). Methods A total of 62 (51 women, mean age: 27.7 ± 9.2) 140 (71 33.3 12.1) non-IH (narcolepsy = 29, non-specified hypersomnolence [NSH] 47, obstructive apnea 39, insomnia 25) were included....
To evaluate in a real clinical scenario the impact of ILAE-recommended "Harmonized neuroimaging epilepsy structural sequences"- HARNESS protocol patients affected by focal epilepsy.We prospectively enrolled who underwent brain MRI between 2020 and 2021 at Modena University Hospital. For all patients, MRIs were: (a) acquired according to HARNESS-MRI (H-MRI); (b) reviewed same neuroradiology team. outcomes measures number positive (diagnostic) negative MRI; type radiological diagnosis...
Long-term consequences after status epilepticus (SE) represent an unsettled issue. We investigated the incidence of remote unprovoked seizures (RS) and drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) in a cohort first-ever SE survivors.
Abstract Considering the growing age of world population, incidence epilepsy in older adults is expected to increase significantly. It has been suggested that late-onset temporal lobe (LO-TLE) may be neurodegenerative origin and overlap with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Herein, we aimed characterize pattern cortical atrophy CSF biomarkers AD (total phosphorylated tau amyloid-β) a selected population LO-TLE unknown origin. We prospectively enrolled individuals onset after 50 no cognitive...
Abstract The recording of epileptiform discharges from bottom‐of‐sulcus focal cortical dysplasia (BOSD) is often difficult during intraoperative electrocorticography (ECoG) due to the deep localization. We describe use in this scenario a new‐generation electrode strip with high flexibility, easily adapted gyri and sulci. A right‐handed 20‐year‐old male drug‐resistant epilepsy BOSD inferior frontal gyrus daily aware seizures was evaluated for surgery. Based on electroclinical neuroimaging...
