Background And Purpose: Around 30% of patients with epilepsy show drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). While cannabidiol has demonstrated efficacy as an adjunctive treatment in Dravet syndrome (DS), Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS), and epilepsy related to tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), its more global effectiveness in adult patients with DRE apart from these three specific contexts needs to be clarified.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study at the epilepsy unit of Pitié Salpêtrière Hospital.
Background: Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a neurocutaneous disorder caused by a somatic mutation in the GNAQ gene, leading to capillary venous malformations with neurological, ocular, and cutaneous abnormalities. Descriptions of adult and elderly patients with SWS are scarce compared to those of neonates or children.
Methods: We reviewed clinical, neuro-radiological and electroencephalographical findings of adult patients diagnosed with SWS, treated in our tertiary center for rare epilepsies.
Article Synopsis
- COVID-19 may lead to central nervous system issues, such as encephalopathy, prompting the need for comprehensive monitoring to understand these impacts better and improve patient care.* -
- A study at Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital analyzed clinical, laboratory, and MRI data along with EEG results from 78 patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19, focusing on encephalopathy-related features.* -
- The results showed that a significant number of patients exhibited abnormal EEG patterns and MRI changes, indicating potential brain damage linked to COVID-19, emphasizing the need for critical neurological assessments in these patients.*
Objective: Ictal bradycardia and ictal asystole (IA) are rare but severe complications of epileptic seizures. They are difficult to recognize within a seizure and their consequences remain unclear. Herein we aimed to extend the description of electrical and clinical features of seizures with IA and/or syncope.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of children and adolescents with Hu-Abs collected by the French Paraneoplastic Neurological Syndrome (PNS) Reference Center between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2011.
Results: The center identified 251 patients with Hu-Abs.
