Abstract

Retrospective cross-sectional survey of individuals admitted to hospital with a diagnosis of epilepsy is used to compare patterns of epilepsy in Indigenous and non-Indigenous people presenting to hospital. The results have shown that Indigenous Australians have similar epilepsy symptoms to the non-Indigenous population, but they present more serious disease.

Abstract

A type of epilepsy affecting infants in the first year of life can trigger life-threatening episodes of breathing cessation or inadequate respiration (apnea) and thus inadequate amounts of oxygen in the blood. Data were gathered from six infants between two and twelve months of age. All were full-term, vaginally born infants. Two were neurologically abnormal at the onset of the oxygen deficiency problem. The four neurologically normal children continued to test normal. Twenty-three life-threatening events were documented among the children in which the apneic event was preceded by abnormal changes in an electroencephalogram tracing. Medication to control seizures was effective in four children and reduced the number of seizures in two. This type of epilepsy does not fit the known patterns in that seizures began spontaneously in infants with no preexisting neurologic damage., ABSTRACT. Objective. To describe the physiologic changes that occur during epileptic seizure (ES)-induced apparent life-threatening events (ALTE) and to provide an explanation for the mechanism whereby the hypoxemia characterizing these events occurred. Patients and design. Six infants were retrospectively selected from a group of 17 because they had ALTE documented on physiologic recordings where the first change in signals was in the electroencephalogram (EEG). The 17 infants had clinical features suggestive of partial seizures (but normal standard EEGs) and were from a sample of 172 infants with recurrent ALTE. All 17 infants underwent continuous recordings of breathing electrocardiogram (ECG), oxygenation, and EEG, but only in 6 was an ES-induced ALTE recorded and the physiologic changes described. Results. Twenty-three ALTE were documented in six infants. Events commenced with an abnormality in the EEG, followed by a decrease in [SaO.sub.2] after a median interval of 27 seconds (range 2 to 147). Despite resuscitation, the median duration of severe hypoxemia ([SaO.sub.2] [less than or equal to] 60%) was 40 seconds (range 8 to 74). In 18 events five infants) there was a median of four apneic pauses (range 1 to 9) preceding the decrease in [SaO.sub.2] by a median duration of 24 seconds (range 3 to 48). The longest apneic pause per event lasted a median of 19 seconds (range 8 to 47). Breathing movements continued in five events (four infants), and expiratory airflow in one. Sinus tachycardia was found in 19 of the 23 events (six infants), but there were no cardiac arrhythmias. Conclusions. ES in infants can manifest as ALTE and be accompanied by potentially life-threatening episodes of severe hypoxemia and apnea, despite a normal EEG between events.

Abstract

The blood levels of the hormone prolactin, growth hormone, and cortisol have been shown to increase following a seizure. The pituitary hormone prolactin specifically increases after epileptic seizures and may be used to distinguish epilepsy from other types of seizures, such as febrile (fever-associated) seizures and syncope, or fainting. The blood levels of the hormones prolactin and cortisol were measured in 17 children with epilepsy, 23 children with febrile seizures, and 10 children with syncope or breath-holding spells. The results were compared with those of 30 children with fever alone and 23 healthy children without fever. The blood levels of prolactin in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) averaged 26.5 in epileptic children, 13.2 in children with febrile seizures, 11.2 in children with fever, 7.3 in children with syncope, and 7.9 in children without fever. The blood levels of cortisol were increased in patients with epilepsy, febrile seizures, or fever. Thus, prolactin levels are elevated after epileptic seizures and to a lesser extent after febrile seizures. Breath-holding spells and syncope are not associated with increases in prolactin levels. In addition, stressful events such as epileptic and febrile seizures and fever can cause a rise in cortisol levels. These findings suggest that a finding of prolactin levels higher than 15 ng/mL may be used to differentiate epileptic seizures from febrile seizures or syncope.
