Epilepsy and Epileptic Syndrome

Abstract: Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders. In most patients with epilepsy, seizures respond to available medications. However, a significant number of patients, especially in the setting of medically-intractable epilepsies, may experience different degrees of memory or cognitive impairment, behavioral abnormalities or psychiatric symptoms, which may limit their daily functioning. As a result, in many patients, epilepsy may resemble a neurodegenerative disease. Epileptic seizures and their poten… Show more

“…Major preconditioning risk factors such as cardiovascular dysfunction, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, traumatic brain injury, and stroke are shared by the sporadic AD (Biessels and Reagan, 2015;Chakrabarti et al, 2015;de la Torre, 2012;Patterson et al, 2007) and PD (Athauda and Foltynie 2016;Daneshvar et al, 2015;Jabir et al, 2015;Jha et al, 2016;Santiago and Potashkin, 2013;Santiago and Potashkin, 2014), in addition to being associated with AE (Chou et al, 2016;Kalra et al, 2016;Ono and Galanopoulou, 2012;Pitkanen et al, 2015;Verrotti et al, 2012;Waldbaum and Patel, 2010b). These factors are characterized by common brain pathologies such as chronic hypoperfusion (Scholz and Hanefeld, 2016;Zlokovic, 2011), neuro-inflammation, and insulin resistance (Rosales-Corral et al, 2015;Straub 2014;Yamagata et al, 2017), all leading to energy deficiency and oxidative stress.…”

“…For example, patients with TLE suffer from hippocampal degeneration and learning and memory deficits (Ono and Galanopoulou, 2012), while individual with frontal lobe epilepsy often experience difficulties in performing tasks that require executive functions and decision making (Patrikelis et al, 2009). For example, patients with TLE suffer from hippocampal degeneration and learning and memory deficits (Ono and Galanopoulou, 2012), while individual with frontal lobe epilepsy often experience difficulties in performing tasks that require executive functions and decision making (Patrikelis et al, 2009).…”

“…However, a significant number of patients -especially in the setting of medical-intractable epilepsies- may experience different degrees of memory or cognitive impairment, behavioral abnormalities or psychiatric symptoms, which limit their daily functioning. As a result, in many patients, epilepsy may resemble a neurodegenerative disease ( Ono and Galanopoulou, 2012 ). Epileptic seizures and/or epileptogenesis may functionally alter brain regions involved in cognitive processing, contributing to the progressive nature of epilepsy; additionally neurodegenerative cellular mechanisms may also participate.…”
