Developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) may cause focal epilepsy when no other lesions are found. Simultaneous EEG/fMRI helped characterize the epileptic network in a patient with DVA and seizures.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Epileptology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) are linked to seizures, but their role in epileptogenesis remains unclear.
- Distinguishing epilepsy syndromes can be challenging, especially with atypical presentations.

Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...
Seizures: Classification
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
