Gelastic seizures are an uncommon seizure type. They most frequently observed in patients with hypothalamic hamartoma. Their association other types of cerebral lesions is rare. Depending on the location lesion, gelastic may or not be accompanied by a subjective feeling mirth. The pathophysiological mechanisms this type still undefined, and little known about which pathways promote laughter its emotional content, We present young man drug-resistant, due to focal cortical dysplasia right...
Central neurogenic hyperventilation (CNH) is a rare condition that generally associated with infiltrative tumors of the brainstem. Respiratory dysfunction, particularly central hypoventilation, common in anti-N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis. CNH, to best our knowledge, has not been described previously this disease. A 24-year-old woman was diagnosed anti-NMDA encephalitis secondary ovarian teratoma. In addition typical symptoms disease, recurrent CNH episodes were observed...
The syndrome of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is a well-defined clinical entity that responds to surgical treatment in considerable number patients. Although it has been subjected intensive research, few investigators have published the ictal scalp EEG findings and looked for specific features might predict postoperative outcome. This study was designed examine characteristics detail, group patients with pathologically confirmed hippocampal sclerosis (HS). Patients who underwent...
Frontal intermittent rhythmic delta activity (FIRDA), a transient slow wave pattern over the anterior EEG leads, has been reported in wide variety of cerebral lesions and different metabolic disturbances. Few authors have analyzed frequency clinical significance FIRDA critical care setting. We aimed to better understand these issues our intensive cohort if possible, try delineate its underlying mechanisms.Video-EEG reports consecutive adult patients neurological unit (NICU) since 2009 were...
ABSTRACT Anti‐NMDA receptor encephalitis is a severe disorder characterised clinically by seizures, autonomic instability, and disturbances of memory, behaviour, cognition. Due to the severity symptoms, many patients are admitted intensive care unit. For some patients, presence various movement disorders abnormal signs, as well history lead false impression status epilepticus, which reported in 6% cases. Here, we present two young female one whom had ovarian teratoma. Both were referred our...
The availability of video electroencephalography monitoring (VEEGM) in neurological intensive care units has allowed the recognition and treatment nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE). However, little is known about characteristics, management, outcomes patients with NCSE developing countries. We retrospectively reviewed video-EEG reports 120 who were monitored from November 2009 to March 2013. Indications for mostly unexplained alterations consciousness or witnessed convulsive seizures....
The link between headache and epilepsy is more prominent in patients with idiopathic/genetic (I/GE). We aimed to investigate the prevalence of cluster regard their features.Patients aged 6-40 years, a definite diagnosis I/GE, were consecutively enrolled. interviewed using standardized questionnaires, characteristics investigated by experts headache. Demographic clinical variables analyzed, clustered according an unsupervised K-means algorithm.Among 809 patients, 508 (62.8%) reported having...
Refractory/super-refractory nonconvulsive status epilepticus (r/srNCSE) is an acute life-threatening neurocritical entity with significant morbidity. Failure to control SE in its earlier stages leads multiple molecular alterations the brain such as downregulation of GABA-A and upregulation NMDA receptors. Recently ketamine, receptor antagonist, has gained increased attention a therapeutic choice controlling refractory/super-refractory SE. We aimed analyze efficacy safety profile ketamine our...
EEG is an important tool for neurologists in both diagnosis and classification of seizures. It not uncommon clinical practice to see patients who were erroneously diagnosed as epileptic. Most the time incorrect interpretation contributes significantly this problem. In study, we aimed investigate success rate neurology residents after formal training. Eleven included study. Duration training (3 vs 4 months) since completion education determined. Residents randomly presented 30 different...
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is the most common disorder among very rare human transmissible subacute spongiform encephalopathies. Sporadic, familial or iatrogenic forms of can be seen. The presentations include rapidly progressive cognitive decline, behavioral changes, visual disturbances and cerebellar dysfunction. Hyperparathyroidism toxicity lithium bismuth have been reported to induce similar symptoms EEG findings, leading a like syndrome. We report case presenting with hyperparathyroidism...
A 64-year-old woman presented with a 6-month history of intermittent episodes ataxia and dysarthria. She had been on metronidazole 1,500 mg daily for ulcerative colitis 10 months. Cranial MRI 3 months before admission revealed hyperintensity in corpus callosum bilateral dentate nuclei (figure 1, A–C). cystic necrotic degeneration D E) cytotoxic edema 2) callosum, whereas appeared normal 1F). The cumulative dose was 450 g, relatively high,1 which could cause white matter injury by various...
Ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke are among the most common causes of seizures, especially in elderly. EEG is only technique that can detect epileptiform abnormalities (EA) and nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE), which may negatively affect recovery these patients. Herein we aimed to investigate potential predictive value long-term findings terms poststroke seizures (PSS) survival, patients followed up neurological intensive care unit (NICU).Video-EEG reports (ischemic hemorrhagic)...
Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy syndrome (MTLES) is the most common surgically remediable epileptic in adults. Its diagnosis easy when clinical history supported by positive laboratory findings. However, routine EEG may not be informative some patients, thus delaying accurate diagnosis. Therefore, we sought to determine how often EEGs displayed epileptiform discharges pre-operatively a group of patients who underwent surgery for MTLES. Retrospectively, reviewed outpatient records MTLES at our...
