Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to explore the relationship between epilepsy and migraine in a large general population, using validated diagnostic methods instead of previous less reliable approaches.
- - It analyzed data from over 65,000 participants, finding no overall increase in migraine prevalence among those with epilepsy compared to those without; however, a higher prevalence of migraine was found in epilepsy patients with intense headache frequency.
- - The conclusion indicates that while migraine occurs at similar rates in both groups, those with epilepsy are more likely to experience frequent migraines (7 or more days a month).
Purpose: Prevalence of psychiatric disorders in people with epilepsy is high. However, diagnostic validity and information about the nature of the seizure disorders are often poor in population-based studies. In a well validated and classified patient sample, we investigated psychiatric comorbidity according to clinical characteristics.

Methods: The Norwegian Prescription Database (NorPD) provided individual-based information on all antiseizure medications (ASMs) and antipsychotic drugs (APDs) dispensed during 2004-2017. Subjects were ≥18 years of age at the end of the study period.
We present pharmacokinetic data during pregnancy and lactation for brivaracetam, lacosamide and perampanel based on two case studies. Patient 1 used brivaracetam as monotherapy and gave birth to twins. Patient 2 used a combination of brivaracetam, lacosamide and perampanel.

We report a patient with clustering of focal aware seizures with visual hallucinations. Ictal EEG findings and seizure semiology with alternating contralateral elementary visual phenomena and non-lateralizing experiential hallucinations (visual scenes, memory flashbacks, spatial distortion) corresponded to a lesion in the posterior part of the right parahippocampal gyrus.
