Disease relevance of Epilepsia Partialis Continua

Some patients showed combinations of stimulus sensitive and spontaneous myoclonus, epilepsia partialis continua, focal motor epilepsy and generalized grand mal seizures [1].
Eight patients with Rasmussen's syndrome and epilepsia partialis continua were treated with high doses of steroids, including pulses of methylprednisolone and prednisone in decreasing doses [2].
An 8-week treatment regimen of amphotericin B and a 30-day course of 5-fluorocytosine abolished the epilepsia partialis continua and cured the meningitis [3].
A 3-year-old boy with segmental vitiligo, poliosis, and alopecia over the right side of the scalp developed epilepsia partialis continua involving the left side of the body and progressive atrophy of the right cerebral hemisphere [4].
Leigh syndrome and partial deficit of cytochrome c oxidase associated with epilepsia partialis continua [5].

High impact information on Epilepsia Partialis Continua

We have identified a novel heteroplasmic C6489A missense mutation in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) CO I gene encoding the cytochrome c oxidase (COX) subunit I in a 17-year-old girl with epilepsia partialis continua [6].
Epilepsia partialis continua following metrizamide cisternography [7].
Only five patients, in whom steroid treatment had begun less than 15 months after the onset of epilepsia partialis continua, experienced a lasting effect although they had periodic episodes of transient relapse [2].
Electrophysiological and positron emission studies in a patient with cortical myoclonus, epilepsia partialis continua and motor epilepsy [8].
Partial onset SE includes secondarily generalized convulsive SE (GCSE), complex partial SE (CPSE), simple partial SE (SPSE), and the syndromes of epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) and rolandic SE (RSE) [9].

Chemical compound and disease context of Epilepsia Partialis Continua

In this report, we describe a case of CSD complicated by an epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) manifested as rhythmic movements of the flexor muscles of the left hand [10].
We observed increased lactate-to-creatine ratios and reduced N-acetyl-aspartate-to-creatine ratios in the affected hemispheres in all three children with epilepsia partialis continua [11].
The epilepsia partialis continua ceased by normalization of blood glucose level [12].
GABA withdrawal syndrome: a model of the epilepsia partialis continua [13].

Gene context of Epilepsia Partialis Continua

Epilepsia partialis continua in a case of MELAS: clinical and neurophysiological study [14].
CSF anomalies in children affected by Epilepsia Partialis Continua (EPC) [15].
Autoantibodies to NMDA receptor in patients with chronic forms of epilepsia partialis continua [16].
