    This study differentiates Kojewnikow syndrome into two types based on clinical and EEG features. One type links to known cortical lesions, while the other suggests a potential slow virus infection.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Epileptology
    • Neurovirology

    Background:

    • Kojewnikow syndrome, a rare neurological disorder, presents with specific seizure types and EEG abnormalities.
    • Understanding the etiology of Kojewnikow syndrome is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
    • Previous classifications have not fully addressed the heterogeneity observed in patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate etiological factors in patients with Kojewnikow syndrome.
    • To classify patients into distinct groups based on clinical and electroencephalogram (EEG) features.
    • To explore potential infectious causes, specifically slow virus infections, in a subset of patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 23 patients diagnosed with Kojewnikow syndrome.

  • Classification based on detailed medical history, clinical presentation, and EEG findings.
  • Comparison of clinical and EEG characteristics between identified patient groups.

    • Main Results:

    • Two distinct groups were identified: Group 1 (11 patients) with classical Kojewnikow syndrome, localized EEG alterations, and known cortical lesions; Group 2 (11 patients) with early onset, diverse seizures, progressive neurological decline, and diffuse cerebral lesions.
    • Group 2 exhibited characteristic EEG patterns of slow spike-wave paroxysms and suggested a possible slow virus infection etiology.
    • One patient did not fit into either classification.

    Conclusions:

    • Kojewnikow syndrome may represent distinct etiological entities, necessitating a re-evaluation of its classification.
    • The second group's presentation raises the possibility of a slow virus infection, warranting further investigation.
    • Differentiating these subtypes is critical for understanding the pathophysiology and guiding future research and clinical management.
