Congenital disorders are the most common cause of symptomatic localization-related epilepsy (S-LRE) in young children. Seizures in S-LRE typically begin earlier in congenital cases compared to perinatal injury-related epilepsy.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Neuroimaging

Background:

  • Symptomatic localization-related epilepsy (S-LRE) beginning in infancy and early childhood presents unique diagnostic challenges.
  • Understanding the etiology and clinical features of early-onset S-LRE is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate MRI findings in early-onset S-LRE patients.
  • To explore the relationship between the timing of injury (prenatal, perinatal, postnatal, unknown) and clinical features of S-LRE.
  • To identify the most common etiological categories in this patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of MRI findings in 183 patients with S-LRE onset before age 6.
  • Classification of injury timing into prenatal, perinatal, postnatal, and unknown groups.

  • Correlation of seizure onset age and clinical characteristics (mental retardation, cerebral palsy) with injury timing.

    • Main Results:

    • Congenital (prenatal and unknown) causes were most frequent (69%) in early-onset S-LRE.
    • Median age of partial seizure onset was 24 months for congenital, 39 months for perinatal, and 25 months for postnatal groups.
    • Later seizure onset was observed in the perinatal group compared to the congenital group.
    • Cerebral palsy was more frequently associated with the perinatal group.

    Conclusions:

    • Congenital disorders are the predominant etiology for S-LRE starting in infancy and early childhood.
    • The timing of the initial injury influences the age of seizure onset and associated comorbidities like cerebral palsy.
