Identifying risk for status epilepticus with the ADAN scale: a prospective multicenter validation study.

Objectives: Status epilepticus (SE) is a serious event associated with high mortality. This study aims to validate the recently developed ADAN (Abnormal speech, ocular Deviation, Automatisms, and Number of motor epileptic seizures) scale for detecting high risk for SE.

Material And Methods: Prospective, multicenter, observational study in adults with suspected epileptic seizures.

The usefulness of NDDI-E and QOLIE-10 scales for the screening of major depressive disorders in patients with epilepsy in video-EEG units.

Objective: Mood disorders in patients with epilepsy are common, with depression being the most prevalent. However, this comorbidity is often underdiagnosed. The systematic use of scales such as NDDI-E and QOLIE-10 in prolonged video-EEG monitoring units could be a useful tool for the detection of this comorbidity.

Epileptogenic focal lesions in Dravet syndrome: A warning to investigators.

Objective: Most patients with Dravet syndrome (DS) have unremarkable neuroimaging studies. However, a small number of patients exhibit focal abnormalities that may modify the epilepsy phenotype. We report a case series of DS patients carrying SCN1A variants concurrent with additional focal brain lesions, aiming to provide details regarding their clinical course, electrographic findings, and imaging features.
