The quest for epilepsy biomarkers is on the rise. Variables with statistically significant group-level differences are often misinterpreted as biomarkers with sufficient discriminative power. This study aimed to demonstrate the relationship between significant group-level differences and a variable's power to discriminate between individuals.

Patients with Unverricht-Lundborg disease/EPM1 develop increasing locomotory disability or ataxia in the course of their disease. To test our hypothesis that negative myoclonus is the reason for this increasing ataxia, we investigated a possible correlation over time.

The circadian rhythm can affect the frequency and resistance of epileptic seizures. In this cross-sectional study, we examined the impact of chronobiology and sleep disturbances on children with epilepsy.

Rasmussen encephalitis (RE) is a focal encephalitis, characterized by epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) with or without seizures and progressive unilateral deficits. Imaging characteristics of RE have been rarely described in detail in relation to EPC. So, the study aimed to explore if any relationship exists between the imaging characteristics and the presence or evolution of EPC in patients with RE.

To analyze whether the Lempel–Ziv Complexity (LZC) in quantitative electroencephalogram differs between the temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients with or without cognitive impairment (CI) and explore the diagnostic value of LZC for identifying CI in TLE patients.

Mild malformation with oligodendroglial hyperplasia (MOGHE) is a recently described clinicopathologic entity, associated with drug-resistant epilepsy and extensive epileptogenic networks. Knowledge is accumulating about particular electroclinical phenotypes, correlations with imaging, and potential prognostic significance for surgical outcomes. The study adds relevant information by documenting the presence of a hyperkinetic frontal lobe seizure phenotype in adolescents and an epileptic encephalopathy phenotype in young children.

Glucose transporter type I deficiency syndrome (GLUT1-DS) is the fourth most frequent single-gene epilepsy refractory to standard antiepileptic drugs. Multiple seizure types and variable electrographic findings are reported. Ketogenic diet is expected to result in the complete resolution of the epileptiform activity.

Loss of function mutations in PCDH19 gene causes an X-linked, infant-onset clustering epilepsy, associated with intellectual disability and autistic features. The unique pattern of inheritance includes random X-chromosome inactivation, which leads to pathological tissue mosaicism. Females carrying PCDH19 mutations are affected, while males have a normal phenotype. No cure is presently available for this disease.

Pathogenic variants of the GABRG2 gene, encoding a GABAA receptor subunit, have been associated with various epileptic syndromes and drug-resistant epilepsy. Vinpocetine has been previously reported efficacious in a patient harboring a GABRB3 pathogenic variant, encoding another GABAA receptor subunit.

The psychological impact of intracerebral electroencephalography (stereoelectroencephalography [SEEG]) including the thermocoagulation procedure has not yet been clearly studied. We present a case of a patient who, following an SEEG procedure for presurgical evaluation of intractable focal epilepsy, developed severe symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder. Such an occurrence may be under-estimated.

Convulsive epileptic seizures are rare in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), and their clinical and EEG features have not been reported in detail. We describe a case of familial CJD with an E200K mutation of the prion protein who presented with bilateral tonic–clonic seizures (BTCS) during long-term video-EEG monitoring.

Neuromodulation in epilepsy is a proven treatment for people with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. Dual device therapies are increasingly utilized in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) and deep brain stimulation (DBS) target the thalamus involving the primary neurobiological network in patients with genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE).

Cryohydrocytosis is a form of stomatocytosis characterized by the leakage of sodium and potassium from red blood cells at low temperatures, characterized by pseudohyperkalemia. Stomatin-deficient cryohydrocytosis is an extremely rare variant that only recently has been related to pathogenic variants in the SLC2A1 gene, encoding the main glucose transporter of the blood–brain barrier and red blood cells, GLUT1.

This report documents the clinical features of supplementary motor area seizures with voluntary movements in two patients. The first case describes a 13-year-old boy with a 2-year history of nocturnal seizures, characterized by an asymmetrical brief tonic posture followed by bilateral rapid hand shaking, but without impaired awareness.
