phenytoin and Epilepsies, Myoclonic

phenytoin has been researched along with Epilepsies, Myoclonic in 35 studies

Epilepsies, Myoclonic: A clinically diverse group of epilepsy syndromes characterized either by myoclonic seizures or by myoclonus in association with other seizure types. Myoclonic epilepsy syndromes are divided into three subtypes based on etiology: familial, cryptogenic, and symptomatic.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" There is, however, considerable debate about the sodium-channel blocker phenytoin, which is often used for status epilepticus, a frequent feature of Dravet syndrome."4.12Does long-term phenytoin have a place in Dravet syndrome? ( Russ-Hall, SJ; Scheffer, IE; Zographos, GA, 2022)
"39 adult patients with intractable epilepsy were successfully treated with high-dose monotherapy, using carbamazepine or phenytoin."3.68[High-dose monotherapy in intractable epilepsy]. ( Peng, SM; Wu, JZ, 1990)
"Consequently, interventions to prevent seizures early in the course of a seizures disorder do not alter the natural history of seizure disorders with respect to whether remission will occur in the long term."2.40Do seizures beget seizures? An assessment of the clinical evidence in humans. ( Berg, AT; Shinnar, S, 1997)
"Progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME) without Lafora bodies, or Baltic myoclonus epilepsy, is characterized by stimulus-sensitive myoclonus, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and an irregularly progressive course beginning between 6 and 15 years of age."2.37Effect of phenytoin on the mental and physical function of patients with Baltic myoclonus epilepsy. ( Eldridge, R; Iivanainen, M, 1987)
"Neocortical focal seizures are characterized by motor jerks in one limb (Jacksonian type), head turning (adversive attack), or localized sensory manifestations, and limbic or psychomotor attacks by brief impairment of consciousness and often by motor automatisms."2.37[Therapy of brain-related minor seizures]. ( Hess, CW, 1988)
"Valproic acid is a new antiepileptic drug."2.36Valproic acid. Review of a new antiepileptic drug. ( Bruni, J; Wilder, BJ, 1979)
"Severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy (SMEI, also known as Dravet syndrome) and genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (mild febrile seizures) can both arise due to mutations of SCN1A, the gene encoding alpha 1 pore-forming subunit of the Nav1."1.39Modeling Dravet syndrome using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and directly converted neurons. ( Chen, J; Fan, Y; Gao, R; Gao, S; Jiao, J; Liao, W; Shi, Y; Sun, XF; Yang, Y; Yao, H, 2013)
"Subtle seizures are the commonest type of seizures occurring in the neonatal period."1.36Management of neonatal seizures. ( Agarwal, R; Deorari, A; Paul, VK; Sankar, JM, 2010)
" Choreoathetosis disappeared when the phenytoin dosage was decreased."1.31Phenytoin-induced choreoathetosis in patients with severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy. ( Awaya, Y; Hayashi, K; Oguni, H; Osawa, M; Saito, Y, 2001)
"A total of 21 patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) and 21 with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) were included; 18 patients were treated with carbamazepine (CBZ), 16 with valproate (VPA) and seven with phenytoin (PHT)."1.30Heart rate variability in patients with epilepsy. ( Ericson, M; Ihrman, C; Lindblad, LE; Tomson, T, 1998)
"Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy is a common, under-recognised form of epilepsy which is best treated with sodium valproate."1.29Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy: diagnosis, management and outcome. ( Buchanan, N; Sharpe, C, 1995)
"Baltic myoclonus epilepsy must be distinguished from Lafora body disease, which is invariably fatal and discernible on clinical grounds."1.27"Baltic" myoclonus epilepsy: hereditary disorder of childhood made worse by phenytoin. ( Eldridge, R; Iivanainen, M; Koerber, T; Stern, R; Wilder, BJ, 1983)
"Twelve patients with benign juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (BJME) representing 4% of our population of epileptics (n = 275) are presented."1.27Some clinical and EEG aspects of benign juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. ( Asconapé, J; Penry, JK, 1984)
" The physiologic explanations for the necessary phenytoin dosage adjustment in infants weighing less than 20 kg are discussed."1.26Increased doses of phenytoin for infants. ( Cady, WJ; Rapp, RP; Young, AB, 1978)
