“…Primary generalized epileptiform discharges were found to be the most dominant disorder. It was 45.5% in the total study population, which is in accordance of Hussein et al [13]with minimal gender difference -43.3% in males versus 49.4% in females. They showed that primary generalized epileptiform discharges had an incidence of 39-59% of their cases.…”

Background: Epilepsy and seizure are one of the most common serious neurological disorders, and most patients either stop having seizures or less commonly die of them. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study targeting adult Sudanese patients was conducted in the EEG units of the department of physiology, faculty of medicine, and the National Ribat University. Recordings were obtained from a digital EEG machine (Medtronic pl-EEG). The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (Windows version 15; SPSS) was used for statistical analysis. The study's main objective was to determine the percentage of abnormal EEGs in adult Sudanese epileptic patients who were referred to the Ribat EEG unit from March 2007 to September 2010. Results: Nine hundred and fifty patients were included in this study, abnormal EEGs was seen in 54.7%, while it was normal was in 45.3%; primary generalized seizures constituted 45.5%, while focal onset seizures were collectively observed in 43.4%, other types of epilepsy counted for 11.2%. Conclusion: This study showed that males were more affected than females, abnormal EEG was maximal in the age group16–30 years. Epileptiform seizure discharges decrease with age, generalized seizure discharges were dominated seizure.

“…Similar results were shown in study conducted by Nitin Joseph et al, in a study on pattern of seizure cases in tertiary care hospitals in Karnatka, state of India which showed a family history of 8.4% (20) . Family history of epilepsy in a study carried out in Sudan was present in 20% cases, which were higher than our observations (23) . Different radiological studies done in our study were MRI brain in 45.19% of cases, followed by NCCT brain (40%), followed by CECT brain (20%).…”

“…As per our study EEG was done in 69 (51.11%) number of cases out of which 49.28% were abnormal. A study done in Jaipur (38) and Sudan (23) found that EEG was abnormal in 58.9% and 64.8% epilepsy patients respectively, which was slightly more than our study. CT was abnormal in 33.5% cases in Jaipur based study (39) which was similar to our study which showed that out of total 40% of NCCT brain done in our study only 2.22% came out to be normal, but the Sudan based study (23) found it in 16.7% cases, which was lower than our observations.…”

“…La plupart des adolescents de notre étude étaient déjà sous anti-épileptique avant la consultation auprès du centre neurologique. Selon (Sidig et al, 2011) un examen neurologique normal est retrouvé dans 84,16% des cas. C'est un point important de l'investigation étiologique car les adolescents présentant une anomalie à l'examen clinique ont eu une épilepsie focale.…”

“…Seuls 6 (4,51%) adolescents ont pu réaliser une imagerie cérébrale. Alors que dans l'étude de (Sidig et al, 2011), tous les patients ont eu une IRM cérébrale avec injection. L'IRM encéphalique avec injection reste le gold standard en matière d'exploration structurelle du cerveau devant une épilepsie.…”

Introduction : L'épilepsie figure parmi les affections neurologiques chroniques graves et courantes affectant les personnes de tout âge. Dans cette étude, les objectifs étaient d’estimer la fréquence brute, de décrire les caractéristiques épidémio-cliniques et paracliniques de l’épilepsie chez les adolescents auprès du Centre de Neurologie d’Antananarivo (CNA), Madagascar. Méthodes : Une étude descriptive, retrospective et transversale était menée allant du 12 Juin 2020 au 02 Mars 2021 dans le CNA. Elle incluait les adolescents de 12 à 18 ans ayant effectué un électroencéphalogramme (EEG) dans le CNA et diagnostiqués comme épileptiques après une interprétation effectuée par un neurologue. Résultats : Cent trente-trois adolescents (96,8‰) étaient inclus. L’âge moyen était de 14,47 ans avec un sex-ratio de 1,14. Les crises épileptiques débutaient entre 12 à 18 ans dont 30,83% avaient un antécédent familial d’épilepsie. Les crises généralisées (53,38%) dominaient la clinique. Les décharges focalisées (78,95%) dans la région frontale étaient les plus fréquentes à l’EEG. L’épilepsie absence de l’adolescent était les plus rencontrées dans (7,52%) des cas. L’épilepsie d’origine indeterminée prédominait dans 80,45% des cas. Conclusion : L’épilepsie chez les adolescents est fréquente. La recherche étiologique reste difficile à Madagascar par le manque de ressource pour réaliser les investigations plus approfondies. Introduction: Epilepsy is one of the serious and common chronic neurological conditions affecting people of all ages.. In this study, the objectives were to estimate the raw frequency, to describe the clinical and paraclinical characteristics of epilepsy in adolescents at the Neurology Center of Antananarivo (NCA), Madagascar. Methods: A descriptive, retrospective, and cross-sectional study was conducted from June 12, 2020, to March 2, 2021, in the NCA. It included adolescents aged 12 to 18 with performed an electroencephalogram (EEG) in the NCA and were diagnosed as epileptic after interpretation by a neurologist. Results: One hundred and thirty-three adolescents (96.8‰) were included. The mean age was 14.47 years with a sex ratio of 1.14. Epileptic seizures began between 12 and 18 years of age, and 0.83% had a family history of epilepsy. Generalized seizures (53.38%) dominated the clinic. Focused discharges (78.95%) in the frontal region were the most frequent on the EEG. Adolescent absence epilepsy was the most encountered in (7.52%) cases. Epilepsy of undetermined origin predominated in 80.45% of cases. Conclusion : Conclusion: Epilepsy in adolescents is common. Etiological research remains difficult in Madagascar due to the lack of resources to carry out more in-depth investigations.
