Purpose: Ictal electrographic changes were analyzed on intracranial electrocorticography
(ECoG) in children with medically refractory epileptic spasms to assess the dynamic …

PET and SPECT can play an important role in the evaluation of various epileptic syndromes,
particularly those with unknown causes, by revealing various underlying abnormalities that …

Background: Recent years have seen a surge of interest in dual-modality imaging systems
that integrate functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and electroencephalography …

Children with infantile epileptic encephalopathies comprising 3.5% of the Pediatric
Neurology Clinic registrations in a tertiary care hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Data …

Although infantile spasms can be caused by a variety of etiologies, the clinical features are
stereotypical. The neuronal and vascular mechanisms that contribute to the emergence of …

We measured the levels of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF) of 24 patients with West syndrome to clarify whether inflammatory cytokines were …

Purpose: To investigate ictal muscular phenomena characterizing symptomatic infantile
spasms (ISs) and their relation to ictal EEG. Methods: Four children with severe …

In childhood epilepsy, there is a great need for non-invasive techniques which could help to
localize the epileptogenic focus. Indeed, persisting seizures have deleterious cognitive …

The recent findings on subtraction ictal SPECT and ictal near-infrared spectroscopic
topography in patients with West syndrome were summarized and its availability for …

To clarify the pathophysiology of tonic spasms, 21 patients with West syndrome were
