Utility of repeat stereotactic EEG in pediatric patients with tuberous sclerosis -
OBJECTIVE: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic disorder associated with early-onset drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) secondary to intracranial tubers. Many patients undergo stereo-EEG (sEEG) for seizure onset localization, sometimes requiring multiple sEEGs and subsequent epilepsy surgeries. Our objective was to evaluate the effects of single versus multiple sEEGs on seizure outcome...
Epilepsy-Related Psychosis in Drug-Resistant Epilepsy With Nonconvulsive Status Epilepticus and Difficult Antipsychotic Titration: A Case Report -
INTRODUCTION: Psychosis in epilepsy may be difficult to diagnose when altered consciousness, antiseizure medication changes, and psychotropic adverse effects coexist.
Enhancing decision-making in surgery for a large temporocorneal meningioma through an explainable human-AI collaboration: a case report -
CONCLUSION: This case demonstrates that explainable AI can enhance preoperative planning and surgical confidence by improving visualization and risk anticipation. However, its role remains supportive, as surgical outcomes continue to depend primarily on tumor characteristics and surgical expertise. The report also highlights the importance of accurate differentiation between PNES and epilepsy i...
An edge-AI enabled wearable platform for real-time epileptic seizure detection with geolocated alerting -
Epilepsy remains a major global health concern, particularly in regions where continuous medical monitoring is difficult to implement. This study introduces a wearable system powered by edge-based artificial intelligence, designed to detect epileptic seizures in real time. The device integrates multiple sensors-accelerometers for motion tracking, photoplethysmography (PPG) for cardiovascular mo...
Silymarin Reverses Seizure-Precipitating Effects of Alcohol and Associated Psychiatric Comorbidities, and Neurotoxicity in Pentylenetetrazol Pre-Kindled Mice -
Heavy alcohol consumption has multiple negative cognitive, psychological, and neurobiological consequences for people with epilepsy. However, the psychopharmacological interactions remain unclear with limited therapeutic interventions. In this study, we investigated the diverse impact of alcohol on experimental simulated pentylenetetrazol-induced seizures and alcohol-use disorder, and the effec...
Neurologists' Views on the Management of Uncontrolled Epilepsy in Spain: A Preliminary Survey -
CONCLUSION: There is a discrepancy between neurologists' treatment goals and their acceptance of persistent seizures in Spanish neurological practice. Several factors may be limiting the achievement of early seizure freedom, including short patient consultations and a lack of familiarity with new treatments, especially among epilepsy non-specialists. Addressing these barriers could improve outc...
