ABSTRACT

Approximately 30% of people with epilepsy will be refractory. This manuscript reviews current evidencebased non-surgical treatment modalities for pediatric refractory epilepsy, including pharmacological and dietary strategies.


Aproximadamente el 30% de las personas con epilepsia será refractaria. Este manuscrito revisa las modalidades actuales y basadas en la evidencia de tratamientos no quirúrgicos para la epilepsia refractaria pediátrica, incluyendo estrategias farmacológicas y dietéticas.

ABSTRACT

An international consortium with a focus on Epilepsy Surgery Education was established with members from different centers in Latin America and Canada. All members of the consortium and attendees from different centers in Latin America and Canada have been meeting to discuss epilepsy surgery cases in a virtual manner. We surveyed all to assess the value of the meetings. The results and description of these meetings are being presented.

ABSTRACT

Epileptic encephalopathies is a group of epileptic syndromes characterized by progressive cognitive impairment beyond the expected for the epilepsy activity. They are characterized by severe pharmaco-resistant epilepsy, severely abnormal electroencephalograms, early-age onset, neurocognitve impairment, variable phenotype and usually normal brain MRI. These syndromes are usually genetically determined. A correct and timely diagnosis could help and guide the medical counselling and the correct therapeutic approach improving the short, medium and long term outcomes. In this article we review the electroencephalographic and genetic findings along with the most recommended therapeutic options facilitating the clinical management. We include the following epileptic encephalopathy syndromes: Ohtahara, early myoclonic encephalopathy, epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizures, West, Dravet, non-progressive myoclonic status, Doose, Lennox-Gastaut, Landau-Kleffner and continuous spike-wave during sleep epilepsy.


Las encefalopatías epilépticas es un grupo de síndromes epilépticos caracterizados por el deterioro cognitivo más allá de lo esperado debido a la actividad epiléptica. Se caracterizan por presentar resistencia farmacológica grave, electroencefalogramas profundamente anormales, inicio en la niñez temprana, deterioro neurocognitivo, fenotipo variable y resonancia magnética de cerebro usualmente normal. Frecuentemente estos síndromes están genéticamente determinados. Su diagnóstico correcto y oportuno puede contribuir y guiar el consejo médico y terapia adecuada, influyendo así en el pronóstico a corto, mediano y largo plazo. En este artículo se revisan los hallazgos electroencefalográficos, genéticos y opciones terapéuticas más recomendadas, facilitando así la conducta clínica. Las encefalopatías epilépticas incluidas en este artículos abarcan los síndromes de Ohtahara, encefalopatia mioclónica temprana, epilepsia focal migratoria de la infancia, West, Dravet, estado mioclónico en encefalopatías no progresivas, Doose, Lennox-Gastaut, Landau-Kleffner y epilepsia con espiga-onda continuas durante el sueño de onda lenta.
