To examine in detail the relations between seizures and K-complexes in autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (ADNFLE).
Prolonged continuous video-EEG recording and analysis of 30 seizures in an 18-year-old woman suffering from ADNFLE with a CHRNA4 gene mutation.
Twenty-seven of 30 recorded seizures started just after a K-complex. In nine cases a sound induced a K-complex that was immediately followed by the seizure. Most seizures preceded repetitive and brief ictal restarts.
Three new characteristics have been observed in this ADNFLE patient: a K-complex is almost invariably present at seizure onset; sounds trigger some seizures; ictal restarts occur often.
These new observations--the presence of K-complexes at seizure onset and occurrence of sound-triggered seizures--support the view that ADNFLE seizures may be initiated by K-complexes.
详细研究常染色体显性遗传性夜间额叶癫痫(ADNFLE)中癫痫发作与K复合波之间的关系。
对一名患有ADNFLE且携带CHRNA4基因突变的18岁女性进行长时间连续视频脑电图记录,并分析30次癫痫发作情况。
30次记录的癫痫发作中有27次在K复合波之后立即开始。在9例中,声音诱发了一个K复合波,随后立即出现癫痫发作。大多数癫痫发作之前有重复性短暂发作期重启。
在该ADNFLE患者中观察到三个新特征:癫痫发作开始时几乎总是出现K复合波;声音引发一些癫痫发作;发作期重启经常发生。
这些新观察结果——癫痫发作开始时存在K复合波以及声音引发癫痫发作——支持了ADNFLE癫痫发作可能由K复合波引发的观点。
