Safety and Efficacy of Perampanel as Adjunctive Therapy in Patients with Refractory Focal Epilepsy Over 12 Months: Clinical Experience in a Real-World Setting
Tập 05 Số 02 - Trang 075-079 - 2018
Abstract Background The main purpose of this study is to assess efficacy and
tolerability of perampanel (PER), a noncompetitive
α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid receptor antagonist, as an
add-on treatment in adult patients with refractory focal-onset seizures.
Patients and Methods A prospective, open label, observational study was
conducted in patients with refractory focal-on...
Ring chromosome 20 syndrome – A rare chromosomal cause of refractory epilepsy in children
Tập 4 - Trang 87-89 - 2017
AbstractGenetic disorders and chromosomal abnormalities have been shown to
represent 2–3% of all cases of epilepsy. Ring chromosome 20 syndrome is a rare
chromosomal abnormality and a rare cause of intractable epilepsy. Exact
prevalence of ring chromosome 20 is not known. We report a case of a 10-year old
boy who had had intractable epilepsy since 2 years of age. Birth history was
insignificant an...
Neonatal seizures and epilepsies
Tập 1 - Trang 75-83 - 2014
AbstractNeonatal seizure is the most frequent clinical manifestation of central
nervous system dysfunction in the newborn. It is defined as a paroxysmal
alteration in neurologic function that include motor, behavior and/or autonomic
functions occurring in the first 28 days after birth of a term neonate or before
44 weeks of gestational age in a preterm infant. Seizures in the presence of
encephalo...
Maternal and neonatal complications during pregnancy in women with epilepsy
Tập 3 - Trang 80-85 - 2016
AbstractEpilepsy is the commonest serious neurological problem faced by
obstetricians and gynaecologists. Epidemiological studies estimate epilepsy to
complicate 0.3–0.7% of all pregnancies.1 2 The importance of epilepsy in
pregnancy lies in the fact that many women with epilepsy (WWE) have to go
through their pregnancy while taking antiepileptic (AED) drugs. Both the
seizures and AEDs can have ha...
Status epilepticus in adults: A study from Nigeria
Tập 1 - Trang 69-74 - 2014
Abstract Background Status epilepticus (SE) is a common neurologic emergency.
Immediate treatment to stop seizure activity and prompt diagnostic evaluation to
recognize potentially treatable causes are paramount in the management of SE.
Thus, increased awareness of presentation, etiologies, and treatment of status
epilepticus SE is central in the practice of critical care medicine. However,
there ...
Proprioceptive-induced seizure in diabetic non-ketotic state: A video case report
Tập 1 - Trang 36-38 - 2014
AbstractA 63-year-old diabetic gentleman with proprioceptive-induced seizures is
reported. Marked hyperglycemia due to discontinuation of anti-diabetic
medication was the precipitating cause. Distinctive clinical feature of this
case was recurrent focal motor seizures involving the left upper limb
precipitated by volitional movements of the same limb and self-aborted by
holding the affected limb w...
Clinical, MRI and electrographic characteristics of three children with Hemiconvulsion-Hemiplegia/Hemiconvulsion-Hemiplegia-Epilepsy (HH/HHE) syndrome–A rare childhood epileptic encephalopathy
Tập 4 - Trang 79-86 - 2017
AbstractHemi convulsion-Hemiplegia-Epilepsy (HH/HHE) syndrome is a very rare
catastrophic epileptic syndrome in childhood which follows a prolonged focal
motor status epilepticus in infancy and early childhood. Here we are describing
the clinical, MRI and electrographic characteristics along with long term
outcome of three children with HH/HHE syndrome. A review of the current
literature on HH/HHE...
A case of paroxysmal nocturnal dystonia responsive to cyproheptadine: Is it almost always epileptic?
Tập 2 - Trang 49-50 - 2015
AbstractNocturnal Paroxysmal Dystonia (NPD) is characterized by abnormal
dyskinetic movements occur mostly during non-REM sleep. From introducing NPD in
early 1980s, most authors have been in favour of an epileptic origin for these
sleep-related episodes. Clinical characteristics of NPD including abrupt
hypermotor behaviours, automatisms and vocalizations, abnormal EEG findings in
some patients an...
Correlation of medial temporal lobe atrophy with seizures in Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment: A case control study
Tập 4 - Trang 132-135 - 2017
Abstract Background Seizures are common accompaniment of neurodegenerative
disease. Though, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause, but seizures
also occasionally occur in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Material & methods
We studied patients of Subjective Memory Complaints coming to the Department of
Neurology of a Tertiary Care Hospital in Northern India from July 2012 to July
2015. ...
