PURPOSE: Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is characterized by impaired consciousness and distinct electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns. However, interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) do not lead to noticeable symptoms. This study examines the disparity between ictal and interictal generalized spike-and-wave discharges (GSWDs) to determine the mechanisms behind CAE and consciousness. METHODS: We enrolled 24 patients with ictal and interictal GSWDs in the study...

Despite the many therapeutic options for epilepsy available today, a third of patients still have poorly controlled epilepsy. Over the years, their transition through lines of treatment exposes them to increased risk of disease progression, mortality, morbidity, mental distress, and not least significantly impaired quality of life (QoL). The present review explores the multiple factors contributing to the impairment of health-related QoL in PWE-including both seizure-related and non seizure-related. The analysis aims to identify potential areas of intervention and strategies for a more holistic approach to epilepsy care and inform policy-makers and healthcare providers in their approach to this condition...

Neonatal seizures are common in newborn infants after birth asphyxia. They occur more frequently in male than female neonates, but it is not known whether sex also affects seizure severity or duration. Furthermore, although stress and diurnal, ultradian, circadian, or multidien cycles are known to affect epileptic seizures in adults, their potential impact on neonatal seizures is not understood. This prompted us to examine the effects of season, daytime, sex, and stress on neonatal seizures in a rat model of birth asphyxia...

BACKGROUND: The seizure subtype of functional neurological disorder (FND-seizures) is a common neuropsychiatric condition manifesting with episodic epilepsy-like events. Despite the common belief that FND-seizures are precipitated by psychological stressors, neurological disorders may also be triggers. In 1890, Babinski described four cases of FND symptoms associated with migraine attacks. Despite the passing of more than 130 years since this first clinical observation, the relationship between FND-seizures and migraine is not fully elucidated...

CSNK2B encodes a regulatory subunit of casein kinase II, which is highly expressed in the brain. Heterozygous pathogenic variants in CSNK2B are associated with Poirier-Bienvenu neurodevelopmental syndrome (POBINDS) (OMIM #618732), characterized by facial dysmorphisms, seizures, intellectual disability, and behavioral disturbances. We report ten new patients with CSNK2B-related Neurodevelopmental Syndrome associated with heterozygous variants of CSNK2B. In three patients, a pathogenic variant was inherited from an affected parent...

OBJECTIVE: The relationship of preoperative memory deficits in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) and hippocampal sclerosis (HS) to the distribution of neuronal loss is uncertain. Building on the material specificity theory, we tested the hypothesis that visual memory deficits are associated with posterior hippocampal atrophy, whereas verbal memory deficits are associated with anterior hippocampal atrophy. METHODS: We studied 22 adults with mTLE and HS, calculating hippocampal head, body, and tail volumes, correcting for estimated total intracranial volume, using automated segmentation...

The "odyssey plot" was used to visualize referral delays in epilepsy surgery. Participants were 36 patients (19 males; 13-67 years, median 27 years) with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (HS) who underwent resection surgery. The "referral odyssey plot" included five clinical episodes: seizure onset (T1), first visits to a non-epileptologist (T2) and to an epileptologist (T3), first admission to our epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) (T4), and resection surgery (T5). For each patient, we identified the first seizure type: the physician who first diagnosed focal aware seizure (FAS), focal impaired awareness seizure (FIAS), focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizure (FBTCS), and radiologically suspected HS...

BACKGROUND: Three years ago (in 2020), we at the epilepsy center in Shiraz, Iran, started an endeavor to initiate a surgical program for patients with hypothalamic hamartoma (HH). We discussed that although minimally invasive techniques are desired, they are not available in the nation. We decided to proceed with open disconnection and resection surgery techniques. The current manuscript presents the results of the HH surgery program at our center as a case series. METHODS: This study included all patients with a diagnosis of HH who were referred to Shiraz Epilepsy Center with drug-resistant epilepsy and who underwent HH surgery from October 2020 to January 2023 at our epilepsy center, Namazi Hospital, Shiraz, Iran...

OBJECTIVE: Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a network disorder that alters the total organization of the language-related network. Task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) aimed at functional connectivity is a direct method to investigate how the network is reorganized. However, such studies are scarce and represented mostly by the resting-state analysis of the individual connections between regions. To fill this gap, we used a graph-based analysis, which allows us to cover the total language-related network changes, such as disruptions in an integration/segregation balance, during a language task in TLE...
