Drug Resistant Epilepsy: Clinical and Genetic Study

EpilepsyDrug Resistant

This study is to identify the clinical criteria of drug resistant epilepsy and to explore whether SCN1A c.3184 A/G (rs2298771) and ccl2(rs1024611) polymorphisms could serve as genetic based biomarkers to predict drug resistance among epileptic patient.

Impact of Early Lactate Dosage Compared to CK for Diagnosis of a Suspected Seizure

Epileptic SeizureCreatine Kinase2 more

Defining the origin of a seizure remains a difficult diagnosis. The presence of witness is not systematic, the clinical examination can be little contributory, and the delay recommended by the FSN is often surpassed for the realization of Creatine kinase (4h). In the event of a suspected seizure, an initial blood test with Creatine kinase and Lactates is often done on admission of the patient in other words before the 4hours delay. It seems interesting to harmonize the practices, to limit the patient wait in the emergencies for a deferred dosage of CK at 4 hours from the seizure and to identify an early biological marker. Objectives: To evaluate the value of blood CK and Lactate dosage in emergency procedures in the diagnosis of generalized seizures.

Longitudinal Early Epilepsy Study

Absence EpilepsyEpilepsy1 more

This longitudinal study will focus on the cognitive and brain development of children with absence epilepsy. In addition, the investigators aim to identify prognostic factors for cognitive deterioration and/or poor seizure control in these children.

Risk Factors of SUDEP

Epilepsy

Numerous studies over the past decade have shown without any doubt that there is a higher mortality risk in patients with epilepsy than in the general population. The cause of death may be related to the cause of epilepsy, being directly related to a seizure (status epilepticus or sudden unexpected death in epilepsy; SUDEP), a consequence of seizures (accidents, etc), other associated pathologies (cancer, cardiovascular disease, ischemic heart disease, pneumonia, etc) or an associated disorder (depression or suicide). A SUDEP is defined as a sudden, non-traumatic, unexpected death in a patient with epilepsy, not necessarily in the presence of witnesses, that is not due to drowning, with or without evidence of a seizure, excluding documented status epilepticus and in which a post-mortem autopsy reveals no anatomical or toxicological cause of death. Little is known about SUDEP and its mechanisms and risk factors. This epidemiological study is based on the RSME. The Main objective of this study to identify risk factors of SUDEP, in particular night-time supervision and the risks associated with anti-epileptic drugs including compliance and drug interactions.

A Study of Hemodynamic Changes Using Near Infra-red Spectrometry (NIRS) in Infantile Epilepsy Spasms...

Epilepsy

This study will included 20 children presenting with epilepsy with spasms. It aims to offer these children, non invasively and without supplementary examinations, a recording of local and cerebral hemodynamic changes concomitant with an electroencephalographic recording during epileptic episodes. This will be carried out by combining optical imaging using near infra-red spectroscopy (NIRS) with electroencephalography (EEG), in a simultaneous high-resolution (HR) recording. This study is among those based on multimodal analyses of epilepsy, combining methods of analysis of electrical activity (electrical imaging) and hemodynamics (optical imaging). Surface electroencephalography (EEG) is a precious tool enabling the study of neuronal dysfunction from a functional point view. It is used in the routine follow-up of children with epilepsy. Optical imaging is a promising medical imaging technique. It uses light in the spectral regions of near infra-red as a source of radiation. It is quantitative, rapid, non invasive, and inoffensive which could easily be used at the child's bedside or in a clinical setting and can provide metabolic information about cerebral function. This study is multidisciplinary, which calls upon the skills of neurophysiologists, biophysicists, and clinicians

Emotion Recognition in Benign Epilepsy of Childhood With Centro-Temporal Spikes (BECTS)

BECTSEpilepsy1 more

The social processes depend on complex cognitive mechanisms, which involve mainly the frontal and temporal lobe regions. Patients with early onset frontal and temporal lobe lesions might later develop important deficits in social integration. Accordingly, children with early onset temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) demonstrate altered emotion recognition.

Scholar Performance and Praxis Assessment in Children With Rolandic Epilepsy

Rolandic EpilepsyApraxia

Rolandic Epilepsy is the most common form of childhood epilepsy. It is classified as idiopathic, age-related epilepsy syndrome with benign evolution. The absence of neuropsychological impairment is part of the criteria of benignity of this epilepsy syndrome. However recently have been suggested several deficits related to attention and language. The purpose of this study was assess school performance and to investigate problems of praxis in patients with rolandic epilepsy as compared to a control group composed of normal children with age, gender and educational level equivalents.

Mapping of the Epileptic Brain

Epilepsy

This study aims improving the outcome after brain resective surgery of epileptic patients by improving presurgical evaluations. In particular the specific goal is to evaluate the ability of non invasive neuroimaging (functional magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalography) to provide presurgical maps of the functional areas of the brain and of the epileptogenic networks.
