Epileptic encephalopathy is the name used to describe severe cases of epilepsy that result in reduced cognitive and behavioral function.

Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy (DEE) refers to a group of severe epilepsies that are characterized both by seizures, which are often drug-resistant, as well as encephalopathy, which is a term used to describe significant developmental delay or even loss of …

2021年11月2日 · Epileptic encephalopathies are an epileptic condition characterized by epileptiform abnormalities associated with progressive cerebral dysfunction. In the classification of the International League Against Epilepsy eight age-related epileptic encephalopathy syndromes are recognized.

2023年6月19日 · Epileptic encephalopathy refers to any condition where epilepsy, seizures, seizure-related brain activity, or a combination of all three contribute to brain...

The concept of ‘epileptic encephalopathies’ is based on the assumption that aggressive ictal (seizure) and electrical (electrographic) epileptogenic activity during brain maturation is the main cause of progressive cognitive and neuro-psychological deterioration or regression.

Epileptic encephalopathies are age-dependent disorders of the brain in which ictal and interictal epileptogenic activity is the apparent cause of progressive cognitive and neuro-psychological regression or impairment, which may be rapid in onset or may take place over a …

In this paper, we provide an overview of epileptic encephalopathies including clinical neurophysiological features, cognitive deterioration, and management options especially that these conditions are generally refractory to standard antiepileptic drugs.

2022年7月26日 · Epileptic or epileptiform encephalopathy is a category of severe epilepsy syndromes of infancy or early childhood, in which the epileptiform EEG abnormalities themselves are...

Epileptic encephalopathies, defined as syndromes in which seizures or epileptiform activity contribute to or exacerbate underlying brain dysfunction, represent one of the most daunting challenges in pediatric neurology.

What are Epileptic Encephalopathies? Epileptic encephalopathies are severe brain disorders that present at an early age and manifest with aggressive EEG activity, multiform, intractable seizures and cognitive, behavioral and neurological deficits.
