Comparative Effect of Levetiracetam and Carbamazepine versus Levetiracetam and Sodium Valproate on Seizure Frequency in Patients with Epilepsy
Epilepsy involves one or a group of chronic disorders in which seizures recur unprovoked and unpredicted. Epidemiological studies in the United States estimate that about 2 million people have epilepsy. About 44 cases per 100,000 people annually are diagnosed with epilepsy, which is about 1% in the United States at the age of about
Epilepsy in Neurodegenerative Disease: A Commentary
Case Summary - We published a case report of a 22-year-old woman who presented to our university hospital with encephalopathy and left hemiparesis of a few weeks duration.
To Stick or Not to Stick? Scalp and Intracranial EEG Evaluation Both Help Achieve Good Surgical and Neuropsychiatric Outcomes in Epilepsy Surgery up to 20 Years Post-Surgery
Epilepsy has a worldwide prevalence of about 50 million [1]. Seizure medications provide adequate control in two thirds of these patients but about a third are refractory to multiple medications and need surgery or other treatments [2].
Responsive Neurostimulation for Management of Refractory Precuneus Onset Epilepsy: A Case Report
Posterior quadrant epilepsy is relatively uncommon and refractory seizures from these regions are difficult to diagnose and manage. A 28-year-old woman presented for evaluation of her seizures. Scalp Electroencephalogram (EEG) showed seizures with independent onset over the right posterior and left anterior regions.
Homeostatic Synaptic Plasticity may be Targeted for the Prevention of Post-Stroke Epilepsy
Stroke is the most common cause of acquired epilepsy, with up to 30 percent of stroke survivors developing epilepsy over time. However, the mechanisms leading to neuronal hyperexcitability and epilepsy in stroke survivors are not fully understood. In a recently published work, we demonstrate that ischemic stroke induces homeostatic plasticity regulation in the surviving neurons in the peri-stroke area.
