Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the patterns of scalp EEG during occipital seizures (OS) and how they relate to simultaneous intracerebral EEG readings.
- Researchers monitored 8 patients with confirmed OS, observing different seizure patterns including background activity suppression and high amplitude slow waves, with varied initial presentations across different regions of the brain.
- The findings indicate that while scalp EEG can effectively pinpoint the onset of intracerebral seizures and carry lateralizing value, it does not always correlate with occipital electrode activity, emphasizing the complexity of seizure manifestations and aiding in better surgical planning for epilepsy treatment.
Article Synopsis
- - This study investigated the prevalence of clinical signs associated with functional neurological disorders (FNDs) in patients with probable functional dissociative seizures (FDS) compared to those with epilepsy.
- - Results showed that 79% of the FDS patients exhibited at least one sign of FND, significantly higher than the 16.6% found in epileptic patients, with many FDS patients showing multiple signs.
- - The findings highlight the importance of recognizing FND signs during neurologic examinations for better differentiation between FDS and epileptic seizures.
Multiple hypotheses exist about the pathophysiology of Postictal Psychosis (PIP). As the clinical manifestations of PIP are roughly stereotyped, we assumed the existence of a common neurological pathway. This study aimed to determine if a specific brain network sustained the psychotic episode, regardless of the localization of the epileptogenic zone.
