Bridging the Gap: Tailoring an Approach to Treatment in Febrile Infection-Related Epilepsy Syndrome.

Neurology

June 2023

From the Divisions of Neurology (Y.G., L.L.L.Y., R.R.) and Rheumatology (S.H.T.), Department of Medicine, National University Hospital and Department of Medicine (Y.G., S.H.T., L.L.L.Y., R.R.), Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore.

Cytokine profiling before immunotherapy is increasingly prevalent in febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES). In this case, an 18-year-old man presented with first-onset seizure after a nonspecific febrile illness. He developed super-refractory status epilepticus requiring multiple antiseizure medications and general anesthetic infusions.

Case 302: Supratentorial Lymphocytic Inflammation with Parenchymal Perivascular Enhancement Responsive to Steroids.

Radiology

June 2022

From the Department of Radiology, Neuroradiology Section, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, Ark (S.V.); Department of Clinical Imaging, Hamad General Hospital (L.A.), and Department of Neuroradiology, Neuroscience Institute (M.A., A.H.E.B.), Hamad Medical, PO Box 3050, Alsadd, Doha, Qatar; and Department of Clinical Radiology, Weill Cornell Medicine, Doha, Qatar (A.H.E.B.).

Part one of this case appeared 4 months previously and may contain larger images. A 21-year-old immunocompetent man who was a long-term resident of Qatar presented to the emergency department with recurrent episodes of unprovoked generalized tonic-clonic seizures lasting 2-3 minutes that spontaneously resolved and were associated with postictal confusion. The patient also had progressive mild diplopia, intermittent dizziness, and numbness in the left arm over the course of 3 months.

Brain metabolic differences between temporal lobe epileptic seizures and organic non-epileptic seizures in postictal phase: a retrospective study with magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Quant Imaging Med Surg

August 2021

Department of Electronic Science, Biomedical Intelligent Cloud R&D Center, Fujian Provincial Key Laboratory of Plasma and Magnetic Resonance, National Institute for Data Science in Health and Medicine, Xiamen University, Xiamen, China.

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is employed to investigate the brain metabolites differences between patients with temporal lobe epileptic seizures (TLES) and organic non-epileptic seizures (ONES) that appear to be epileptic seizures. Twenty-three patients with TLES and nine patients with ONES in postictal phase underwent MRS examinations on a clinical 1.5T system, with 15 healthy controls in comparison.

Granulocytes and monocytes are the first cells to invade the brain post stroke and are also being discussed as important cells in early neuroinflammation after seizures. We aimed at understanding disease specific and common pathways of brain-immune-endocrine-interactions and compared immune alterations induced by stroke and seizures. Therefore, we compared granulocytic and monocytic subtypes between diseases and investigated inflammatory mediators.
