An angiographically occult arteriovenous malformation in the medial parietal lobe presenting as seizures of medial temporal lobe origin

We present an unusual case of a patient who was diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy and whose seizures were reduced markedly after excision of an angiographically occult arteriovenous malformation (AVM) located in the left medial parietal lobe. A 38-year-old man had complex partial seizures characterized by motionless staring with oroalimentary and behavioral automatisms since the age of 15 years. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a small lesion extending from the left posterior cingulate gyrus to the precuneus. There was no MRI evidence of mesial temporal sclerosis. Intracranial EEG recordings showed ictal onset from the left medial parietal lobe propagating to the medial temporal lobes. Clinical signs appeared when these discharges reached the temporal lobes. After excision of the lesion (which was histologically confirmed as an AVM), together with the marginal cortex, seizures were reduced significantly. Careful diagnostic evaluation of lesions such as the this one may reveal an epileptogenic lesion (zone) far from the region where scalp ictal discharges seem to arise. In our case, we hypothesize that false localization was due to propagation of ictal discharges from the parietal focus through the limbic system.     

DermRx. An experiment in computerizing information on dermatologic therapy

The Task Force for Creating a Biomedical Communications System for Dermatology was commissioned by the American Academy of Dermatology to develop an experimental segment of a computerized data bank on dermatologic therapy. The Task Force has completed such a "first generation" system and has named it DermRx. Its data bank carries the following information on each entry: the name of the disease; topical, systemic, physical, and other kinds of treatment; caveats; references to the literature; and the date and reviewer(s). The DermLit and DermRx programs are two components of a projected broader concept of an eventual comprehensive Biomedical Communications System for Dermatology. Such a system is envisaged as a means of making available to dermatologists diverse data relevant to practice, teaching, research, and business aspects of the specialty. At the moment, access to the stored information on dermatologic literature and therapy is by telephone call to, or by correspondence with, the central computer facility at Northwestern University. Eventually it is projected to be accessible by dedicated microcomputers housed in the physician's office. This preliminary report on DermRx is presented to review the progress of the project to date and to elicit comment upon its structure and value.

Effect of gastrin-releasing peptide on rat hippocampal extracellular GABA levels and seizures in the audiogenic seizure-prone DBA/2 mouse

Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP), a selective agonist for the BB(2) subtype of bombesin receptor, is reported to depolarise GABAergic interneurons in the stratum oriens layer of the hippocampus. Such an action might lead to increased extracellular levels of GABA in the hippocampus, and result in an anti-convulsant effect with this peptide. We have tested this hypothesis by determining the effect of GRP on extracellular levels of GABA in the ventral hippocampus of the freely moving rat using in vivo microdialysis, and by intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of GRP to audiogenic seizure-prone DBA/2 mice prior to exposure to the noise of an electric bell. Following local perfusion in the ventral hippocampus by reverse dialysis GRP (10 microM) significantly raised levels of GABA in the recovered dialysates by approximately 40%. In the seizure studies, GRP (30-300 ng) increased the latency to tonic seizure, the number of mice convulsing and reduced the incidence of lethality. In both dialysis and seizure studies, the effects of GRP were blocked by the selective BB(2) receptor antagonist, [D-Phe(6), Leu-NHEt(13)]bombesin (6-13). These experiments provide further functional evidence that activation of the BB(2) receptor may modulate neurotransmission in the hippocampus, and that this action may confer anti-convulsant properties on agonists acting at the BB(2) receptor in the brain.     

Phenytoin administration reveals a differential role of pontine reticular formation and periaqueductal gray neurons in generation of the convulsive behaviors of audiogenic seizures

The ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (PAG) and pontine reticular formation (PRF) are implicated in the neuronal network for audiogenic seizures (AGS). The AGS of genetically epilepsy-prone rats (GEPR-9s) culminate in tonic hindlimb extension (TE), and elevated acoustically evoked neuronal firing and burst firing, immediately preceding TE, have been observed in PAG and PRF. This study examined changes in PAG and PRF neuronal firing and behavior in GEPR-9s, following phenytoin administration. Recordings involved 16 PAG and nine PRF neurons in GEPR-9s. Phenytoin in doses (mean, 6. 3 mg/kg) that suppressed TE selectively did not consistently alter PAG neuronal firing. However, these doses of phenytoin resulted in significant (51.6% of control) suppression of PRF neuronal firing. Doses of phenytoin (mean, 8.3 mg/kg), which completely blocked AGS, significantly reduced PAG neuronal firing (64.6% of control), and more greatly suppressed PRF firing (25.8% of control). These results are consistent with a critical role for PRF neurons in generation of TE not evident for PAG. The suppression of PAG and PRF neuronal firing induced by phenytoin with complete seizure blockade is consistent with vital roles for both structures in the seizure network. The differential effects of phenytoin on structures requisite to the seizure network indicate that this experimental approach may be able to identify the most sensitive therapeutic target for anticonvulsant drugs, which could be critical to pharmacological suppression of specific seizure behaviors manifest in various types of convulsions, potentially including human epilepsy.     

Role of early EEG and neuroimaging in determination of prognosis in children with complex febrile seizure

BACKGROUND: The present study investigates the role of early use of EEG in children with no known neuropathology prior to the first CFS, and the contribution made by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to treatment and prognosis. METHODS: Over a period of 7 years, the authors evaluated 159 children (age range: 2 months-5 years) who were being treated for CFS at Haydarpasa Numune Training and Research Hospital, Pediatrics Clinic, Istanbul, Turkey, and who had no previously known neurological disorder. Patients who presented with febrile seizure were determined to have CFS if they fulfilled the following criteria: <3 months of age when seizure occurred, duration of seizure >/=15 min, more than one seizure occurred during a single episode of illness, or focal seizures and postictal neurological deficit was found. EEG was performed on all patients. CT was performed on the patients who had postictal neurologic deficit or focal seizures. Cranial MRI was performed on patients who had focal findings in their EEGs. RESULTS: Electroencephalogram abnormality was found in 71 cases; 51 of these were diagnosed with epilepsy during follow up. Six of the 16 cases whose EEGs were abnormal between days 2 and 6 were diagnosed with epilepsy. Twenty of the 30 cases whose EEGs were abnormal between days 7 and 10 were diagnosed with epilepsy. All 25 cases who had abnormal EEGs after day 11 were diagnosed with epilepsy. CT was performed for 36 patients, of which five were found to have pathological changes. Pathological changes were detected in two of the nine patients who had cranial MRI. Patients who received CT or MRI were all diagnosed with epilepsy during follow up. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that if neurological examination of CFS patients are normal after their clinical status has stabilised, EEG should be performed after 7 days at the earliest, however for the most accurate diagnosis EEG should be performed 10 days after CFS. The most important predictor for neuroimaging was found to be detection of postictal neurologic deficit. MRI had no advantages over CT in first treating CFS in the emergency unit.
