- - The study compared men with epilepsy on anti-seizure medication (ASM) to those without epilepsy regarding conception time, pregnancy outcomes, and offspring neurodevelopment, as well as examining psychiatric conditions and sexual performance.
- - Results showed that men with epilepsy had significantly higher rates of psychiatric disorders and lower erectile function compared to controls, with an odds ratio indicating strong associations.
- - Out of the men with epilepsy, 17 had children while on ASM, revealing a slightly higher rate of developmental delays in their offspring, though this finding was not statistically significant.
Purpose: Compare the detection rate of seizures on scalp EEG with simultaneous intracranial stereo EEG (SEEG) recordings.
Methods: Twenty-seven drug-resistant epilepsy patients undergoing SEEG with simultaneous scalp EEG as part of their surgical work-up were included. A total of 172 seizures were captured.
