Background: Epileptiform activity, including status epilepticus (SE), occurs in up to one-third of comatose survivors of cardiac arrest and may predict poor outcome. The relationship between SE and hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) is not established.
Methods: This is a single-center retrospective study on consecutive patients with post-anoxic super-refractory SE.

Background: -related disorders are autosomal recessive genetic disorders characterized by movement disorders primarily including ataxia and spasticity, mainly accompanying developmental delay, seizures, and neuroimaging abnormalities. -related spectrum disorder (VSD) may better reflect the characteristics of the disease. So far, the relationship of genotype and phenotype of VSD has not been established.

Background: Temporal lobe epilepsy with isolated amygdala enlargement (TLE-AE) still lacks a definite characterization and controversies exist.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study identifying brain MRI scans with isolated AE between 2015 and 2021. We collected clinical and paraclinical data of patients with TLE-AE and evaluated the outcome.

Objectives: The ability to differentiate epileptic- and non-epileptic events is challenging due to a lack of reliable molecular seizure biomarker that provide a retrospective diagnosis. Here, we use next generation sequencing methods on whole blood samples to identify changes in RNA expression following seizures.
Methods: Blood samples were obtained from 32 patients undergoing video electroencephalogram (vEEG) monitoring.

The 2023-2024 updates on teratovigilance, with a focus on antiseizure medications, highlight several key points. American medical societies have revised their recommendations: maintaining effective seizure control is essential for both maternal and fetal health; lamotrigine, levetiracetam, and oxcarbazepine are preferred first-line treatments, whereas valproic acid and topiramate should be avoided if possible. In March 2024, an update on topiramate indicated an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders with prenatal exposure.
