The aim of the study was to describe focal epilepsy in patients with Laron syndrome (LS).
Data were retrieved from medical records of a single-center cohort of 75 patients with LS.
We describe for the first time 4 patients with concomitant focal epilepsy and LS. Two of them experienced episodes of status epilepticus. Electroencephalogram examination in all 4 patients showed interictal epileptiform discharges in the temporal regions. Three achieved long-term seizure freedom on antiseizure medications.
Patients with LS may be at risk of developing focal epilepsy, which seems to be unrelated to hypoglycemic episodes in childhood.
本研究旨在描述拉伦综合征(LS)患者的局灶性癫痫。
从单中心队列的 75 名 LS 患者的病历中检索数据。
我们首次描述了 4 例伴有局灶性癫痫和 LS 的患者。其中 2 例经历了癫痫持续状态发作。所有 4 例患者的脑电图检查均显示颞区有发作间期癫痫样放电。3 例患者通过抗癫痫药物治疗达到长期无癫痫发作。
LS 患者可能有发生局灶性癫痫的风险,这种癫痫似乎与儿童时期的低血糖发作无关。
