Abstract:
Three Latin American female patients studied in two different centers (Mexico City and Houston, Texas) had the clinical criteria of Rett's Syndrome, including progressive intellectual deterioration, stereotyped movements, loss of purposeful hand use, ataxia, and progressive disability. The three patients had normal laboratory studies including imaging studies (CT and MRI) but consistently abnormal EEGs with Lennox-Gastaut pattern. The usefulness of the EEG in the differential diagnosis and the association of this electrographic phenomenon are stressed.

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:
Antiepileptic Drugs: Glutamate Antagonists
REM Sleep Behavior Disorder
RBD is significantly associated with...
Restless Leg Syndrome and Night Terrors
The exact cause of RLS is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate muscle movement. Imbalances in dopamine levels...
