Seizures are known to be part of the disease spectrum in multiple sclerosis (MS). In a series of 600 patients with definite MS, we identified 10 subjects (1.6%) with epileptic seizures. These patients were mainly affected by relapsing-remitting MS, with disseminate lesions on neuro-imaging and slow activity on EEG. For seizures occurring only during relapses (30%), anti-epileptic treatment was not undertaken. All the other patients were treated with anti-epileptic drugs with good clinical response. Subjects affected by progressive MS had refractory seizures and experienced status epilepticus.

Abstract
Seizures are known to be part of the disease spectrum in multiple sclerosis (MS). In a series of 600 patients with definite MS, we identified 10 subjects (1.6%) with epileptic seizures. These patients were mainly affected by relapsing-remitting MS, with disseminate lesions on neuro-imaging and slow activity on EEG. For seizures occurring only during relapses (30%), anti-epileptic treatment was not undertaken. All the other patients were treated with anti-epileptic drugs with good clinical response. Subjects affected by progressive MS had refractory seizures and experienced status epilepticus.File in questo prodotto:
