Epilepsy can be an early sign of multiple sclerosis (MS), sometimes appearing before other symptoms. Brain imaging and EEG may show correlations with seizures in MS patients.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Epileptology
  • Neuroimmunology

Background:

  • Epileptic seizures are more common in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients than the general population.
  • Understanding epilepsy in MS is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Analyze clinical features of epilepsy in MS patients.
  • Investigate correlations between seizure semiology, EEG, and MRI findings.
  • Evaluate anticonvulsant therapy response.

Main Methods:

  • Studied 20 MS patients with seizures/epilepsy from a cohort of 268.
  • Performed standard electroencephalography (EEG) and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast.

Main Results:

  • Epilepsy preceded MS diagnosis in 4 patients; 8 had seizures during MS relapses.

  • Chronic epilepsy occurred in 12 patients; partial seizures with secondary generalization were most common.
  • Abnormal EEG in 11 patients; MRI revealed cortical-subcortical lesions in 9, with probable EEG-MRI-seizure correlations in 10.

    • Conclusions:

    • Epilepsy can be an initial MS symptom or a sole relapse manifestation.
    • Findings support a correlation between cortical-subcortical lesions and epilepsy in MS.
