Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have an increased risk of seizures, and children with epilepsy have an increased prevalence of ADHD. Adults with epilepsy often have varying degrees of attentional dysfunction due to multiple factors, including anti-seizure medications, frequent seizures, interictal discharges, underlyin...

The bedrock of clinical medicine is effective communication. A generation ago, this was primarily the clinical consultation, the letter to the general practitioner, and the occasional scientific paper. In 2019, the avenues and opportunities for communication have exploded and include a pantheon of new and social media. We review the current state o...

To examine the lateralizing value of unilateral peri-ictal and interictal headaches in patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy (DRFE). Four-hundred consecutive patients undergoing presurgical evaluation for DRFE were interviewed. Patients with headache were broadly divided into two groups: peri-ictal and interictal headache. The lateralizing va...

Descriptions of seizure manifestations (SM), or semiology, can help localize the symptomatogenic zone and subsequently included brain regions involved in epileptic seizures, as well as identify patients with dissociative seizures (DS). Patients and witnesses are not trained observers, so these descriptions may vary from expert review of seizure vid...

The purpose of the present study is to examine the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory 2 (MMPI-2) scores of individuals diagnosed with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) in a tertiary epilepsy center in the Czech Republic. Patients (F:M 130:45; mean age 36.8 years; 12.7 years of education, frequency of seizures 0.37 per day, illness ...

Multiple classification systems for psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) based on semiological features have been described. We sought to compare the efficiency of four PNES classification systems. We retrospectively analysed medical and video-electroencephalography (VEEG) records of patients with PNES with at least one typical event recorded o...

Patients presenting to the pediatric emergency department (ED) often undergo unnecessary testing that leads to prolonged ED visits. Lower ED length of stay has been linked to improved patient experience and may reduce ED overcrowding, a costly burden on a health system. This is a retrospective cohort study involving patient records over the period ...

Temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common form of focal epilepsy and related cognitive dysfunction impacts significantly on quality of life in patients. Identifying the mechanisms of such impairment would assist in the management and treatment of patients. The study of perturbations in resting-state networks could shed light on this subject. The ai...

Patients with psychogenic nonepileptic events (PNEE) exhibit heterogenous symptoms and are best diagnosed with long-term video-electroencephalogram (vEEG) data. While extensive univariate data suggest psychological tests may confirm the etiology of PNEE, the multivariate discriminant utility of psychological tests is less clear. The current study a...
