Children with drug-resistant focal epilepsy and focal cortical dysplasia who undergo complete resection of Morphometric Analysis Program (MAP)-positive regions are more likely to experience seizure-free outcomes compared with children who receive no or partial resection.

Biomarkers such as high?sensitive troponin T (hsTNT), copeptin, and soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) may be helpful to identify cardiac stress after generalized convulsive seizures (GCS) in patients with refractory epilepsy.

Hormonal changes occurring throughout a woman’s life can influence and be influenced by seizure mechanisms and antiepileptic drugs, presenting unique management challenges.

Patients who had a minimally invasive evaluation procedure experienced fewer complications, and those who went on to have brain surgery were more likely to be seizure-free than patients who had the more invasive evaluation procedure.

This screening questionnaire showed a significantly lower level of sensitivity when validated in the field, confirming that hospital?based validation can lead to an overestimation of sensitivity.

This study found an increase in the excitatory synaptic function and decrease in the inhibitory synaptic function only in CASK mutant neurons, but not in wild-type neurons in the same brain.

A minimally invasive procedure to determine whether patients with drug-resistant epilepsy are candidates for brain surgery is safer, more efficient, and leads to better outcomes than the traditional method.
