ALT A 21-year study reveals that patients evaluated with stereo-EEG (SEEG) achieved a 67.8% seizure freedom rate, compared to just 46.5% for those using subdural EEG. While subdural EEG remains the preferred method for precise language mapping, SEEG offered superior safety in this study, with no symptomatic intracranial bleeding recorded.

ALT CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD) and SMC1A-related epilepsy are X-linked neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by early-onset, often refractory epilepsy and severe intellectual disability.

ALT How can we expand access to pediatric EEG expertise in regions with limited specialist resources? This international Delphi consensus highlights that effective pediatric EEG training for non-epilepsy specialists requires more than theoretical instructions. Test your knowledge and discover which training component experts considered essential for long-term competency.

ALT The Handbook of Paediatric Electroencephalography offers an accessible introduction to pediatric EEG interpretation, covering technical principles, normal patterns, activation procedures, and EEG abnormalities. Designed for entry-level learners, it addresses an important educational gap in pediatric EEG training, particularly in resource-limited settings.

ALT who says - "I am very passionate about nutrition and cooking, especially when it comes to keto and low-carb diets. This lifestyle change has positively impacted my life for the past 15 years. I chose to join this project because I want to help others who truly need a medical diet. I aim to make it easier for them to enter the world of keto, which can be quite different from their usual diet. Initially, I viewed it as a challenge, but as soon as I started my first recipe, I realized it’s much more than that. I am also happy to contribute to raising awareness about the medical keto diet, as it is still an undervalued topic, especially in Romania".

ALT is a renowned Romanian chef and certified ketogenic metabolic therapist, celebrated for her healthy, low-carb, and sugar-free desserts. In 2022, she gained national recognition as a finalist on the Romanian cooking competition "Chefi fără limite," showcasing her creativity under pressure. Chef Eremia is also a passionate advocate for children with epilepsy and did not hesitate to join this humanitarian project Cook4Keto

ALT Co-existing sleep disorders and epilepsy can complicate the diagnosis and management of both conditions. The overlap of sensory and motor symptoms between sleep disorders—such as restless leg syndrome (RLS), periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD), and seizure-related manifestations—can make accurate diagnosis challenging, leading to potential misdiagnosis and mismanagement.

ALT The purpose of this review was to present definitions and classifications grounded in current evidence, aiming to establish a common language among clinicians and in studies addressing SE.

ALT Whenever possible, recording events and involving specialized professionals, such as neurologists or epileptologists, can improve diagnostic accuracy, while lack of response to standard therapies should prompt consideration of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures.

ALT Emerging evidence suggest that Vagal Nerve stimulation (VNS), traditionally used for drug resistant epilepsy, may offer a rescue option in selected SRSE patients.
