Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’épilepsie est une affection du cerveau se manifestant plus fréquemment chez les enfants. Elle se caractérise par des épisodes paroxystiques modifiant le comportement. La crise d’épilepsie est la conséquence d’une décharge neuronale excessive. De nombreux syndromes ont été identifiés, ce qui en fait une maladie à la classification complexe. Les traitements adaptés à l’enfant sont nombreux et présentent des effets indésirables importants. Cette maladie est souvent mal vécue par l’enfant et sa famille, car les signes cliniques, les conséquences de la maladie, le traitement et les nombreux préjugés sur cette maladie sont parfois difficile à supporter. La prise en charge de l’épilepsie est primordiale pour sortir de ces préjugés et surtout pour que l’enfant et sa famille mènent une vie ordinaire. Cette thèse a pour but de rappeler les différents syndromes épileptiques et leurs traitements antiépileptiques, ainsi que de montrer l’importance des conseils à donner dans cette maladie.

Book excerpt: L'épilepsie est l'affection neurologique la plus fréquente après la migraine survenant majoritairement chez l'enfant. La crise épileptique est la conséquence d'une décharge neuronale excessive et synchrone anormale. D'étiologies diverses, elle se manifeste différemment en fonction de la localisation du foyer épileptogène. L'enregistrement éléctroencéphalographique est l'examen permettant le diagnostic d'une épilepsie en mettant en évidence des anomalies paroxystiques. Des antiépileptiques adaptés à l'enfant existent. Les plus récents sont mieux tolérés et génèrent moins d'interactions médicamenteuses. La survenue d'une épilepsie peut induire des troubles cognitifs et comportementaux de sévérité variable. C'est le cas des encéphalopathies épileptiques comme le syndrome de West caractérisé par une hypsarythmie, des spasmes infantiles et un retard de développement. Dans la première partie de cette thèse nous aborderons les généralités sur l'épilepsie afin de bien comprendre toutes les facettes de la pathologie, de connaître toutes les techniques de diagnostic ainsi que les traitements disponibles sur le marché et d'évaluer son impact sur la vie quotidienne. Dans le but de conférer un aspect plus concret à toutes ces données, nous nous attarderons sur quelques cas de syndromes épileptiques. Dans un deuxième temps nous nous focaliserons sur le syndrome de West en étudiant également son profil épidémiologique, clinique, thérapeutique, évolutif et pronostique.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'épilepsie est une maladie neurologique qui se caractérise par la répétition de crises épileptiques. La crise est la conséquence d'une activité électrique anormale, excessive non contrôlée de neurones. En France, l'épilepsie touche environ 550.000 personnes. C'est une affection qui touche plus les enfants et les personnes âgées. Lorsque le diagnostic est posé, un traitement antiépileptique doit être mis en route. Cependant, si les crises persistent après deux années de traitement bien suivi avec au moins deux médicaments antiépileptiques seuls ou associés, l'épilepsie est considérée pharmaco-résistante. Ce type d'épilepsie représente environ 30% des cas traités en France. La neurochirurgie est l'une des techniques la plus efficace dans le traitement de ces crises. Il existe d'autres alternatives thérapeutiques comme la diète cétogène et la corticothérapie. En dehors de la prise en charge thérapeutique de cette pathologie, une adaptation du mode de vie, un accompagnement et l'observance strict du traitement permettront au patient et à ses proches de mener une vie normale

This book was released on 2013-09-11 with total page 667 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un DVD inclus avec des séquences vidéos inédites pour chaque chapitre ! L’épileptologie change, et les approches syndromiques sont maintenant complétées par une approche étiologique fondée sur les progrès considérables en génétique. Une approche purement « électro-clinique » n’est plus adaptée aujourd’hui dans bien des cas. Cette 5e édition du « Guide bleu » fait le point sur les plus récents progrès. Ainsi, la structure du livre a un peu évolué, laissant plus de place aux approches : - physiologiques - épidémiologiques - génétiques - thérapeutique Néanmoins, la description des syndromes épileptiques reste au cœur de cet ouvrage. La diversité des contributeurs – coordinateurs et auteurs – confère à ce livre des qualités d’objectivité et de sérieux qui en font la réputation depuis maintenant près de 30 ans.

Book excerpt: Idiopathic generalised epilepsies are characterised by strong genetic factors and multiple clinical phenotypes; animal models of untreated epilepsies are relevant to some of the clinical syndromes found in humans. This volume is the first to confront human clinical, animal (experimental) as well as basic and applied genetic data. Main section headings: Current approaches; Familial neonatal and infantile convulsions; Absence seizures and absence epilepsy; Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy and related syndromes; Photosensitivity; Pathophysiology of convulsive seizures; Fundamental and therapeutic aspects.
Download or read book Falls in Epileptic and Non Epileptic Seizures During Childhood written by Fondazione Pierfranco e Luisa Mariani. Colloquium and published by John Libbey Eurotext. This book was released on 1997 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the Mariani Foundation meeting held in Milan, October 1995, highly qualified specialists were invited to assist in understanding of the basic principles of cerebral development and brain function, with specific attention to those structures and mechanisms involved in the phenomenon of falls. Epiliptologists illustrate the different semiologic modalities and clinical conditions in which the fall is an essential symptom. A main part of the book is dedicated to the medical and surgical treatment of syndromes where falls appear in the foreground. This volume has the mission of improving life conditions of children who suffer from drop seizures, by limiting the risks to which they are subjected, and to try and compensate for the psychological and social limitations affecting them.

Download or read book Valproate written by Wolfgang Löscher and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the fortuitous discovery of its anticonvulsant activIty in 1962, valproate has established itself worldwide as a major antiepileptic drug against several types of epileptic seizures. Clinical experience with valpro ate has continued to grow in recent years, including use of valproate for diseases other than epilepsy, for example in bipolar disorders and migraine. In this volume on valproate emphasis is placed on the scientific back ground leading to the discovery of val pro ate, its subsequent pharmacologi cal and toxicological characterization, and its clinical development into one of the most widely and successfully used anti epileptic drugs, a real mile stone in drug therapy. The current state of knowledge of valproate will be reviewed by experts in the field, including new hypotheses about its mecha nisms of action, its metabolism into pharmacologically active metabolites, its unique distribution characteristics, its unwanted hepatotoxic and terato genic adverse effects and its various clinical uses. Furthermore, the wide variety of available pharmaceutical formulations of valproate, including novel controlled-release formulations, will be outlined. The monograph is aimed at a broad readership, particularly neurologists, psychiatrists and basic scientists working in the field of epilepsy research. Because the monograph also deals with structure-activity relationships of valproate as well as of its metabolites and analogs, the book should also serve for rese archers working in medicinal chemistry, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry.
Download or read book Drug Resistant Epilepsies written by Philippe Kahane, Anne Berg, Wolfgang Löscher, Doug Nordli, Emilio Perucca and published by John Libbey Eurotext. This book was released on 2013-09-18 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 12 million people with epilepsy have seizures that cannot be controlled by antiepileptic drugs. The term "drug-resistance" is abundantly used in the epilepsy literature but the definitions proposed differ considerably. It is used indifferently in a number of different settings: as a criterion for selection of patients eligible for new antiepileptic drug trials, for the selection of surgical candidates, for the design of epidemiological studies, for the design of studies on quality of life, for the definition of the epileptic encephalopathies (in comparison to more benign epilepsy syndromes), to mention but a few. As a result, available studies are usually not comparable and referral to epilepsy specialists is unacceptably delayed. The volume includes several focused chapters on all issues relating to drug-resistance and offers the basis for a consensus on a clinically meaningful core definition.

This book was released on 2019-06-20 with total page 2274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1984, the year of the publication of its first edition, the famous “Blue Guide” has been the international reference for paediatricians and neuropaediatricians with regard to epileptic syndromes in infants, children and adolescents. This 6th edition reviews some of the most noteworthy developments in the field, particularly in epileptic syndromes, but also focuses on the genetic aspects of the syndromes and their development. Progress brought about by advances in neuroimaging is also discussed in addition to specific etiologies such as parasitic diseases and immune and autoimmune diseases. The different backgrounds of the contributors - coordinators and authors – ensure that the book’s longstanding reputation for objectivity and seriousness, built over almost 35 years, remain well-deserved. This book written by the current leading specialists is recognized worldwide as the international reference in epilepsy.

This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate reference book : the 5th updated edition of the famous “blue guide”. Incluided : A DVD with new sequences completes each chapter! Epileptology changes. The syndromic approach is completed by an etiological approach, based on the major advances in genetics and functional genetics. New entities have found their place, and a purely descriptive, “electroclinical” approach is no longer adapted in many circumstances. The 5th edition of the Blue Guide includes the most recent advances. It was necessary to justify the physiological, epidemiologic, genetic and therapeutic approaches and to consider them in the light of the new classification efforts, which are still in the making. Nevertheless, the description of epileptic syndromes, both classical and recent, remains at the core of this book.
