1. Meningoencephalitis caused by a zygomycete fungus (Basidiobolus) associated with septic shock in an immunocompetent patient: 1-year follow-up after treatment
Zygomycosis is an infection caused by opportunistic fungi of the Zygomycetes class, specifically those from the Mucorales and Entomophthorales orders. It is an uncommon disease, mainly restricted to immunocompromised patients. We report a case of a 73-year-old male patient with a history of fever (39°C) lasting for 1 day, accompanied by shivering, trembling

2. Non tuberculous mycobacteria and toxoplasma co-infection of the central nervous system in a patient with AIDS
New-onset seizures are frequent manifestations in patients infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). We describe the clinical and radiological findings in an 25yr old AIDS patient presenting with new onset seizures as the primary manifestation of cerebral toxoplasmosis and Non Tuberculous Mycobacterial [NTM] co-infection. Cranial computed tomography

3. Malformações fetais, defeitos de desenvolvimento e sinais dismorficos em filhos de mães com epilepsia / Fetal malformations, development defects and dysmorphic signs in outcomes of women with epilepsy
Rationale: The majority of women with epilepsy do not experience significant changes during pregnancy; however the persistence of seizures and the effect of antiepileptic drugs (AED) may affect the fetus. These effects include lower intrauterine growth, dysmorphisms, fetal malformation and neuropsicomotor developmental delay. Most studies report that the ris

4. Importance of Heart Rate Analysis in the differentiation of epileptic and non epileptic events / ImportÃncia da anÃlise da frequÃncia cardiÃca na diferenciaÃÃo de eventos epilÃpticos e nÃo epilÃpticos
As convulsÃes dialÃpticas tÃm como principais alteraÃÃes ictais as alteraÃÃes de consciÃncia que sÃo independentes das manifestaÃÃes ictais no eletroencefalograma. Essa classificaÃÃo de convulsÃes epilÃpticas foi proposta por LÃders et al em 1998 e tem como base exclusivamente a semiologia ictal. O presente estudo avalia um total de 59 evento

5. Crisis del lóbulo temporal registrada mediante magnetoencefalografía: caso clínico
Ictal onset localization is a important factor in presurgical evaluation of epilepsy. This paper describes the localization of a seizure onset recorded by magnetoencephalography (MEG) from a 12-year-old male patient who suffered from complex partial drug-resistant seizures. MRI revealed a 20mm diameter lesion located in left hippocampus. Scalp EEG showed lef

6. Disturbios cognitivos na epilepsia
The present research refers to the the relationship between epileptic syndrome - Complex Partial Seizures - and cognitive performance. In order to study this subject we defined the following aims: 1) Characterization of neuroclinic condition of epileptic patients; 2) We studied the correlations between Epilepsy and Neuropsychological disorders; and 3) Contri

7. Estudo de 34 casos enviados a um grupo de trabalho de epilepsia resistente
The author analysed 34 cases of resistant epilepsy (20 males and 14 females, mean age 23 years), treated clinically between february/1984 and may/1986. The patients underwent neurological, neuropsychological, psychological, psychiatric, cerebrospinalfluid, electroencephalographic, tomographic and/or angiographic examination. Most of the patients had complex

8. Prognosis of chronic epilepsy with complex partial seizures.
Clinical features associated with a successful or unsuccessful response to high dose antiepileptic drug therapy were evaluated prospectively in 82 patients with chronic complex partial seizures. Complete seizure control was observed during high dose drug therapy in 18 patients at plasma concentrations of either 9-35 micrograms/ml phenytoin, 32 and 40 microgr

9. Prolactin and gonadotrophin changes following generalised and partial seizures.
Postictal values of prolactin, LH and FSH have been recorded in patients with both generalised tonic-clonic and partial seizures. Elevations of prolactin and LH were seen immediately and at 20 minutes in males and females with generalised attacks. At sixty minutes values for prolactin had fallen to baseline levels, but LH remained elevated. FSH values were i

10. The temporal sequence of aura-sensations in patients with complex focal seizures with particular attention to ictal aphasia.
The sequences of aura sensations in 143 patients with complex partial seizures, were analysed with special emphasis on aphasic symptoms. Anxiety, epigastric sensation and visual hallucination were experienced early in the course of the aura, while illusion of familiarity and aphasia occurred late in the course of the aura. Three groups of interconnections of

11. Ictal/postictal SPECT in the pre-surgical localisation of complex partial seizures.
Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) used in conjunction with HM-PAO (Ceretec-Amersham International) was used to image regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in 28 patients with medically intractable complex partial seizures during or soon after a seizure, and interictally. Changes from interictal rCBF were seen in 26/28 (93%) patients. The main

12. Complete atrio-ventricular conduction block during complex partial seizure.
Cardiac arrhythmias are a well known cause of epileptic seizures. Epileptic seizures resulting in cardiac arrhythmias are less well recognised and cardiac arrhythmias are commonly presumed to be of primary cardiac origin. This paper describes a patient with complete AV heart-block during a partial complex seizure. Simultaneous EEG/ECG monitoring was used to
