Frequency and predictors of poststroke epilepsy after mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion stroke: results from a multicenter cohort study
ConclusionIn our study, patients with large vessel occlusion stroke receiving MT had a 9% prevalence of PSE over a median follow-up period of 6.5 years. Besides larger infarct size, presence of cerebral microbleeds on brain MRI predicted PSE occurrence.

Preventing development of post-stroke hyperexcitability by optogenetic or pharmacological stimulation of cortical excitatory activity
Neurobiol Dis. 2023 Jul 17;184:106233. doi: 10.1016/j.nbd.2023.106233. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStroke is the most common cause of acquired epilepsy, but treatment for preventing the development of post-stroke epilepsy is still unavailable. Since stroke results in neuronal damage and death as well as initial loss of activity in the affected brain region, homeostatic plasticity may be trigged and contribute to an increase in network hyperexcitability that underlies epileptogenesis. Correspondingly, enhancing brain activity may inhibit hyperexcitability from enhanced homeostatic plasticity and prevent post-stroke epilep...

External validation and comparison of clinical scores for predicting late seizures after intracerebral hemorrhage in Chinese patients
CONCLUSION: Our study showed that the CAVE, CAVS and LANE scores had similar AUCs for the occurrence of late seizures, but the LANE score had a relatively high PPV at the optimal cutoff score. Due to low evidence for using prophylactic antiseizure medications (ASM) in patients with ICH and poor availability of specialist stroke care in China, the LANE score with a cutoff score of 3 could be an applicable prediction tool in Chinese patients with ICH.PMID:37441984 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2023.109349

Case report: “Proust phenomenon” after right posterior cerebral artery occlusion
In this study, we provide the inaugural description of aversive odor-evoked autobiographical memories after stroke in the right hippocampal, parahippocampal, and thalamic nuclei. As potential underlying neural signatures of the phenomenon, we discuss the disinhibition of limbic circuits and impaired communication between the major networks, such as saliency, central executive, and default mode network.

The natural history of epilepsy and nonepileptic seizures in Sturge-Weber syndrome: A retrospective case-note review
This study explored the natural history of epileptic and nonepileptic seizures into adulthood in patients with SWS, and their treatment, and investigated whether any clinical factors predict which symptoms a patient will experience during adulthood.METHODS: A retrospective case-note review of a cohort of 26 adults with SWS at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN). Childhood data were also recorded, where available, to enable review of change/development of symptoms over time.RESULTS: The course of epilepsy showed some improvement in adulthood - seventeen adults continued to have seizures, while six pa...

Effectiveness and Safety of Lacosamide, A Third-generation Anti-seizure Medication, for Poststroke Seizure and Epilepsy: A Literature Review
Curr Neuropharmacol. 2023 Jun 20. doi: 10.2174/1570159X21666230616114255. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAdvances in stroke treatment have resulted in a dramatic reduction in stroke mortality. Nevertheless, poststroke seizures and epilepsy are issues of clinical importance affecting survivors. Additionally, stroke is the most common cause of epilepsy in older adults. Although numerous antiseizure medications exist, studies are needed to provide robust evidence of the efficacy and tolerability of these medicines for treating poststroke seizures and epilepsy. Crucially, the newer generations of antiseizure medications require...

Risks of neurological and psychiatric sequelae 2 years after hospitalisation or intensive care admission with COVID-19 compared to admissions for other causes
Brain Behav Immun. 2023 May 30:S0889-1591(23)00132-0. doi: 10.1016/j.bbi.2023.05.014. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe association between COVID-19 and subsequent neurological and psychiatric disorders is well established. However, two important questions remain unanswered. First, what are the risks in those admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) with COVID-19? Admission to ICU is itself associated with neurological and psychiatric sequelae and it is not clear whether COVID-19 further increases those risks or changes their profile. Second, what are the trajectories of neurological and psychiatric risks in patients admitted...
