  1. 1. EPILEPSY AND CHILDHOOD AUTISM - with special reference to neuropsychiatric aspects on surgical interventions for medically intractable epilepsy

    Författare :Susanna Danielsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :epilepsy; autism; epilepsy surgery; psychopathology; VNS; treatment outcome; children; cognition;

    Sammanfattning : Epilepsy is much more common in individuals with autism than in the general population. The extent to which epilepsy influences the outcome of autism is poorly understood. Many children with medically intractable epilepsy have neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism. LÄS MER

  3. 2. 10-year Outcome of Childhood Epilepsy in Well-functioning Children and Adolescents

    Författare :Pysse Jonsson; Margareta Dahl; Orvar Eeg-Olofsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Childhood epilepsy; adolescent epilepsy; well-functioning individuals; prognosis; syndromes; family history; internalizing and externalizing problems; ASEBA;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Epilepsy is one of the most common neurologic disorders in children and young adults. The prognosis depends on various conditions but the long-term prognosis regarding seizure freedom is positive in the majority of the children. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Glioneuronal tumours in childhood : Clinical picture, long-term outcome and possible new treatments

    Författare :Christoffer Ehrstedt; Gunnar Ahlsten; Bo Strömberg; Ann-Margret Rydell; Anja Smits; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glioneuronal tumour; ganglioglioma; dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour; childhood; cognition; psychosocial; HRQoL; outcome; mTOR pathway; somatostatin receptor; Pediatrik; Pediatrics;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Glioneuronal tumours are a subgroup of low-grade tumours of the central nervous system (CNS), often causing epilepsy. Overall survival is excellent, but data regarding long-term seizure outcome and late effects are scarce. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Speech and language dysfunction in childhood epilepsy and epileptiform EEG activity

    Författare :Gunilla Rejnö-Habte Selassie; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :auditory ability; cognition; co-morbidity; epilepsy; epileptiform activity; follow-up; Landau Kleffner syndrome; language disorder; neurodevelopmental dysfunction; speech disorder;

    Sammanfattning : In severe childhood language disorder, concomitant dysfunction in other areas may be present. There are indications that epileptiform EEG activity and epilepsy may influence speech and language development, but this relationship is poorly understood. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Effects of Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Ketogenic Diet on Quality of Life and Changes in EEG and Sleep

    Författare :Tove Hallböök; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vagus nerve stimulation; neuropsykologi; Neurologi; neurophysiology; neuropsychology; Neurology; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; behaviour; attention; ketogenic diet; delta power; slow wave sleep; REM; mood; sleep; quality of life; EEG; seizure frequency; spike detection; children; neurofysiologi; Pediatri; epilepsy; Pediatrics;

    Sammanfattning : When anti-epileptic drugs fail, and epilepsy surgery is found unfeasible or ineffective, there remains a group of at least 25% of children with epilepsy in whom seizure control cannot be achieved. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an adjunctive treatment for medically refractory epilepsy. LÄS MER
