Aim: To review the clinical, electrophysiological and neuroimaging data of eight adult patients (4F/4M) with epilepsy and bilateral periventricular nodular heterotopia (PNH) after a long duration of follow-up. Materials and Methods: The clinical charts were reviewed for demographic and clinical features, seizure types and frequency, treatment and prognosis of all eight patients who were under follow-up by one of the authors (SS). The recordings of video-EEG monitoring with scalp electrodes in five patients and routine EEGs in all patients were reviewed. Results: The clinical semiology was in accord with seizures originating from temporal lobe region in four patients, while an …

This study was carried out to determine whether certain clinical, laboratory, or radiological parameters predispose patients to develop FIRDA in acute situations. Charts of patients in whom FIRDA was detected on an EEG on hospital admission were reviewed. Demographic data, clinical history, physical findings, laboratory results and neuroimaging studies were recorded. Sixty-eight patients with a median age of 56 years were included. Chronic illness was present in 78%. Normal background activity was observed in only 17% of the cases. Epileptiform discharges were uncommon. Abnormal neurological findings were detected in over two thirds of patients. Renal function impairment was present in …
