Psychomotor or temporal lobe epilepsy is a frequently missed diagnosis. It is often confused with grand mal and petit mal epilepsy. At times it is the first symptom of an organic neurological disease. It is often masked as a psychiatric disorder or is associated with a mental illness without clinically detectable seizures.These psychic manifestations simulate all of the neuroses and major psychiatric states. Excitement states with amnesia may lead to violent antisocial behavior. All these manifestations may be aggravated by alcohol.Thalamic epilepsy shows itself in similar psychiatric manifestations and accounts for behavior disorder in children more than temporal lobe epilepsy. Atypical seizures with vegetative or emotional aura and a characteristic electroencephalogram differentiate it from temporal lobe epilepsy.Proper understanding of the varied manifestations, with positive electroencephalographic findings, leads to the correct diagnosis in most cases. All patients with unusual or atypical personality or psychiatric-like states should have careful electroencephalographic examination. Anticonvulsant therapy and other psychiatric treatment procedures can relieve most cases. Surgical therapy sometimes is necessary. 相似文献

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common developmental disorders in school-aged children. Symptoms consistent with ADHD have been observed in 8–77 % of children with epilepsy. Researchers have been motivated to search for alternative forms of treatment because 30 % of patients with ADHD cannot be treated by psychostimulants. Several studies support the use of a multimodal treatment approach that includes neurofeedback (NF) for the long-term management of ADHD. These studies have shown that NF provides a sustained effect, even without concurrent treatment with stimulants. We aimed to assess cognitive flexibility in ADHD children with and without temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), and to evaluate the effects of NF on cognitive flexibility in these groups of children. We prospectively evaluated 69 patients with ADHD aged 9–12 years. The control group was 26 ADHD children without TLE who received no treatment. The first experimental group comprised 18 children with ADHD. The second experimental group comprised 25 age-matched ADHD children with TLE. This group was further divided in two subgroups. One subgroup comprised those with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (16 patients, 9 with hippocampal sclerosis and 7 with hippocampal atrophy), and the other with lateral temporal lobe epilepsy (9 patients, 5 with temporal lobe dysplasia, 3 with temporal lobe cysts, and 1 with a temporal lobe cavernoma). We treated their ADHD by conducting 30 sessions of EEG NF. Reaction time and error rates on the Trail Making Test Part B were compared before and after treatment, and significant differences were found for all groups of patients except those who had mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal atrophy. Our results demonstrate that in most cases, NF can be considered an alternative treatment option for ADHD children even if they have TLE. Additional studies are needed to confirm our results. 相似文献

Patients with temporal lobe epilepsy secrete ACTH at higher rates and in greater amounts than normal subjects. Temporal lobectomy restores ACTH secretion to normal amounts and rates. The ACTH secretion in temporal lobe epilepsy is independent of anticonvulsant drug effect and seizure frequency. Electrical stimulation of medial temporal lobe structures in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy affected ACTH secretion in a manner consistent with the hypothesis that ACTH secretion is regulated by tonic inhibition. A defect in the excitatory and/or inhibitory components of this regulatory process appears to exist in temporal lobe epilepsy. 相似文献

Temporal lobe epilepsy is a chronic disorder of nerve system, mainly characterized by hippocampal sclerosis with massive neuronal loss and severe gliosis. Aberrant neurogenesis has been shown in the epileptogenesis process of temporal lobe epilepsy. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying aberrant neurogenesis remain unclear. The roles of Wnt signalling cascade have been well established in neurogenesis during multiple aspects. Here, we used kainic acid‐induced rat epilepsy model to investigate whether Wnt/β‐catenin signalling pathway is involved in the aberrant neurogenesis in temporal lobe epilepsy. Immunostaining and western blotting results showed that the expression levels of β‐catenin, Wnt3a, and cyclin D1, the key regulators in Wnt signalling pathway, were up‐regulated during acute epilepsy induced by the injection of kainic acids, indicating that Wnt signalling pathway was activated in kainic acid‐induced temporal lobe epilepsy. Moreover, BrdU labelling results showed that blockade of the Wnt signalling by knocking down β‐catenin attenuated aberrant neurogenesis induced by kainic acids injection. Altogether, Wnt/β‐catenin signalling pathway mediated hippocampal neurogenesis during epilepsy, which might provide new strategies for clinical treatment of temporal lobe epilepsy. Temporal lobe epilepsy is a chronic disorder of nerve system, mainly characterized by hippocampal sclerosis. Aberrant neurogenesis has been shown to involve in the epileptogenesis process of temporal lobe epilepsy. In the present study, we discovered that Wnt3a/β‐catenin signalling pathway serves as a link between aberrant neurogenesis and underlying remodelling in the hippocampus, leading to temporal lobe epilepsy, which might provide new strategies for clinical treatment of temporal lobe epilepsy. 相似文献

Clinical features of 47 cases of temporal lobe epilepsy are analyzed and treatment of this disorder is outlined. Twenty-four per cent of all cases of epilepsy seen by one of the authors over a two-year period were of this type. Fifteen of these 47 patients had a history of birth injury. Care must be taken to distinguish the symptoms of temporal lobe epilepsy from those of acute anxiety or hysteria and to differentiate the short-lived temporal lobe attack from centrencephalic petit mal.Interictal personality disturbances were identified in 11 of 24 persons with temporal lobe epilepsy, four of 35 with focal epilepsy from all other areas, and one of 17 with centrencephalic epilepsy. Personality deviations most frequently encountered were irritability, aggressiveness, bouts of depression, paranoid tendencies and exhibitionism. Medical or surgical treatment often improves the personality abnormalities concomitantly with control of seizures. 相似文献

Gelsolin is an actin regulatory protein that generally distributed in a wide variety of body tissues, especially the brain
tissues and cerebrospinal fluid. In this study we found that lumbar CSF-gelsolin concentrations markedly decreased in epileptic
patients by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. In order to help judge the result, we determined gelsolin expression in temporal
lobe tissues of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy using double-label immunofluorescence to location and using western blot
to quantitation. Then we observed that gelsolin was co-expressed with microtubule-associated protein-2 in axons and cytoplasms
of neurons and gelsolin protein level was also down-regulated in temporal lobe tissues of epileptic patients. Our findings
suggested that CSF-gelsolin level might reflect the alteration of gelsolin in brain tissue of epileptic patients and CSF-gelsolin
seems to be a potential biomarker for epilepsy. 相似文献

On brain slices from healthy guinea pigs and animals with a model of chronic temporal lobe epilepsy, a comparative study of GABAergic modulation of oscillatory activity of neurons in the medial septal area was carried out. Under the action of GABA, burst activity persisted only in pacemakers in both groups of preparations. In epilepsy, the effectiveness of GABA action on the rhythmic neurons sharply increased. In the control group, GABA significantly reduced bursts frequency in cells preserving their oscillatory activity, whereas in slices from the epileptic brain burst frequency increased under the action of GABA. Blockade of GABAergic receptors led to a disruption of tonic GABAergic intraseptal influences and to a significant decrease in the effectiveness of blockers in epilepsy. The study was the first to demonstrate a dysfunction of the septal GABAergic system in temporal lobe epilepsy, which is a possible cause of a sharp change in the oscillatory properties of septal neurons. These findings contribute to elucidation of the mechanisms of temporal lobe epilepsy. 相似文献

Temporal lobe epilepsy is a common human disease that is difficult to treat. The pathogenesis of temporal lobe epilepsy, which holds many unresolved questions, and opportunities for creating more effective treatments and preventative strategies are reviewed herein. Laboratory animal models are essential to meet these challenges. How models are created, how they compare with each other and with the disease in human patients, and how they advance our understanding of temporal lobe epilepsy are described. 相似文献

癫痫作为一种严重危害人类健康的常见病、多发病,其致病机理至今尚未阐明。30—60%的患者药物治疗无效,称“难治性癫痫”。随着现代医学的发展,外科手术的开展对于癫痫患者治疗也没有满意的效果。这就对于我们探求癫痫患者病灶的起源有了更深层次的要求。大量动物实验表明,海马作为中枢神经系统的重要结构不仅同学习、记忆、情绪等密切相关,还同癫痫的发生发展有着重要的联系。本文就大脑可塑性与癫痫的关系进行综述。 相似文献

A broad variety of mutations of the mitochondrial DNA or nuclear genes that lead to the impairment of mitochondrial respiratory
chain or mitochondrial ATP synthesis have been associated with epileptic phenotypes. Additionally, evidence for an impaired
mitochondrial function in seizure focus of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and Ammon’s horn sclerosis, as well as, animal
models of temporal lobe epilepsy has been accumulated. This implies a direct pathogenic role of mitochondrial dysfunction
in the process of epileptogenesis and seizure generation in certain forms of epilepsy. 相似文献

The perception of moving sound stimuli that imitate directional sound source movement was studied in healthy subjects and in patients with temporal lobe lesions, as well as in a group of patients with simultaneous lesions of the temporal cortex and hippocampus. Under the conditions of dichotic stimulation of patients with the rightor left-side foci of convulsive activity, the nature and length of the trajectories of the emerging subjective sound images (SSI) were estimated depending on the direction of movement and interaural time difference (700, 400, 200 μs). The audiograms of all patients did not differ from those of healthy subjects, suggesting that the auditory sensitivity of patients remained unimpaired. However, in the patients, the trajectories were shorter than the trajectories in healthy subjects at all the values of the initial time delay and at all the directions of SSI movements. In patients with the cortical temporal epilepsy, changes of the subjective sound field were the most significant in the case of the right-side localization of foci of the convulsive activity. In patients with simultaneous lesions of the temporal cortex and hippocampus, the averaged trajectories of SSI movement differed significantly from those in the group of healthy subjects (p < 0.01) and in patients with a relatively isolated lesion of the temporal cortex (p < 0.05); these trajectories were independent of the initial delay. The mediobasal structures of the temporal lobe that are involved in the epileptic process proved to play a significant role in the perception and estimation of the moving sound stimuli, although they do not belong to the auditory system proper. The possible mechanisms underlying disorders in patients with temporal epilepsy are discussed. 相似文献

Three long-stay, hospitalised schizophrenics who had failed to respond adequately to conventional drug therapy were treated with gamma-linolenic acid and linoleic acid in the form of evening primrose oil. They became substantially worse and electroencephalographic features of temporal lobe epilepsy became apparent. In all three the clinical state dramatically improved when carbamazepine, the conventional therapy for temporal lobe epilepsy was introduced. It can be extremely difficult to distinguish on clinical grounds between schizophrenia and temporal lobe epilepsy, and electroencephalographic studies do not always reveal an abnormality in the temporal lobe syndrome, unless additional procedure such as sphenoidal electroencephalography is undertaken. A trial of therapy with gamma-linolenic acid may prove of considerable value in distinguishing between these two states, so allowing specific therapy to be introduced. 相似文献

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) is an optional diagnostic method for potential epilepsy surgery candidates. The aim of this study was to determine the credibility of 1H MRS examination in a group of patients suffering from solitary and sporadic epileptic seizures generated in temporal lobe. We recorded a 100% sensitivity of 1H MRS in a group of ten patients in terms of detection of a pathological process in the temporal lobe. 1H MRS also enabled determination of lateralization of the pathological process in three patients with bilateral epileptiform abnormalities on electroencephalography. Based on these results we suggest new perspectives on 1H MRS as a part of standard diagnostic algorithm for solitary and sporadic temporal lobe epileptic seizures, particularly in cases with normal electroencephalography and magnetic resonance imaging findings. 相似文献

Among the different forms of epilepsies, mesiotemporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is one of the most common and represents the main pharmaco-resistant form of epilepsy. There is therefore an urgent need to better understand this form of epilepsy to develop better anti-epileptic drugs. Many rodent models are mimicking some aspects of the human temporal lobe epilepsy but only few are addressing most of the human mesiotemporal lobe epilepsy. In this article, we describe the main characteristics of a mouse of model of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. This model is generated by a single injection of kainic acid into the dorsal hippocampus which reproduces most of the morphological and electrophysiological features of human MTLE in a mouse. This model may help to better understand mesial temporal lobe epilepsy and the development of new therapeutic drugs. 相似文献

The hallmark of medial temporal lobe amnesia is a loss of episodic memory such that patients fail to remember new events that are set in an autobiographical context (an episode). A further symptom is a loss of recognition memory. The relationship between these two features has recently become contentious. Here, we focus on the central issue in this dispute--the relative contributions of the hippocampus and the perirhinal cortex to recognition memory. A resolution is vital not only for uncovering the neural substrates of these key aspects of memory, but also for understanding the processes disrupted in medial temporal lobe amnesia and the validity of animal models of this syndrome. 相似文献
