    Introduction: Video-EEG has been used to characterize genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE). For best performance, sleep recording, photic stimulation, hyperventilation, and neuropsychological protocols are added to the monitoring. However, risks and benefits of these video-EEG protocols are not well established. The aim of this study was to analyze the efficacy and safety of a video-EEG neuropsychological protocol (VNPP) tailored for GGE and compare its value with that of routine EEG (R-EEG). Methods: We reviewed the VNPP and R-EEG of patients with GGE. We considered confirmation of the clinical suspicion of a GGE syndrome and characterization of reflex traits as benefits

    Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy: Challenges on its 60th anniversary
    (W B Saunders Co Ltd, 2017) Yacubian, Elza Márcia Targas [UNIFESP]
    Purpose: Since its initial 1957 description, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) has been recognized as a common epileptic syndrome worldwide. Methods: We reviewed a series of articles on JME to clarify challenges in clinical and pathophysiological findings, treatment and outcome. Results: Typical JME characteristics include: 1) the age at seizure onset between 10 and 25 years

    Praxis induction. Definition, relation to epilepsy syndromes, nosological and prognostic significance. A focused review
    (W B Saunders Co Ltd, 2014-04-01) Yacubian, Elza Márcia Targas [UNIFESP]; Wolf, Peter; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Danish Epilepsy Ctr
    Purpose: There is increasing awareness that reflex epileptic mechanisms provide unique insight into ictogenesis in human epilepsies. Several of the described triggers have in common that they imply complex visuomotor coordination and decision-making; they are today regarded as variations of one principle, i.e. praxis induction (PI). This focused review considers PI from the aspects of history and delineation, clinical and electroencephalographic presentation, syndromatic relations, prevalence, mechanisms of ictogenesis and nosological implications, treatment and prognosis.Methods: We reviewed a series of published articles and case reports on PI in order to clarify clinical and electroencephalographic findings, treatment and outcome.Results: Findings of both induction and inhibition by the same stimuli suggest widening the reflex epilepsy concept into a broader one of epilepsies with exogenous modification of ictogenesis. PI is closely related to juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) where hyperexcitability and hyperconnectivity of the entire network of visuomotor coordination seem to provide the precondition for eliciting reflex myocloni in the musculature active in the precipitating task.Conclusion: the conclusions on ictogenesis derived from PI support the concept of JME as a system disorder of the brain.
