Coexistence of epilepsy or seizure and multiple sclerosis; review of the literature with a single center experience
Objectives
There is evidence that the inflammatory demyelinating disorder in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is associated with acute seizures and epilepsy. Additionally, the likelihood of developing epilepsy increases with neurodegeneration. This study aims to reveal the clinical and radiological features of MS-epilepsy/seizure coexistence.
Methods
Among all patients diagnosed with MS that we followed in our center between April 2002 and July 2023, patients with a single seizure history or diagnosed with epilepsy (MS-seizure/epilepsy) were randomized 1:1 in terms of age and gender with MS patients without a diagnosis of epilepsy or seizures. Clinical (comorbidities, annualized relapse rate, disability, seizures during attacks, initial diagnosis, disease duration, disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), refractory epilepsy, anti-seizure drugs), electroencephalography (EEG) and MRI (lesion localization and new lesion(s)) data were retrospectively evaluated.
Results
The mean EDSS was 4.07±2.81. 29.4 % of patients had progressive MS (n = 10). Refractory epilepsy was 52.9 % (n = 18), and SE history was 14.7 % (n = 5). Pathology was detected in 69.7 % (n = 23) of patients in the EEG. The most common slow wave activation was detected in 51.5 % (n = 17). Refractory epilepsy was more common in cases under 45 and patients with lesions in thalamic localization. Lesions in the temporal and thalamic regions and cerebral atrophy were more common in the MS-seizure/epilepsy group.
Conclusion
Patients with demyelinating lesions in the temporal and thalamic regions should be questioned more carefully for epilepsy, and an EEG should be performed in case of clinical suspicion. Since thalamus lesions are more common in patients with refractory epilepsy, anti-seizure treatment strategies should be applied more carefully. The presence of atrophy on MRI confirms the link between neurodegeneration processes and the development of epilepsy.
期刊介绍：
Multiple Sclerosis is an area of ever expanding research and escalating publications. Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders is a wide ranging international journal supported by key researchers from all neuroscience domains that focus on MS and associated disease of the central nervous system. The primary aim of this new journal is the rapid publication of high quality original research in the field. Important secondary aims will be timely updates and editorials on important scientific and clinical care advances, controversies in the field, and invited opinion articles from current thought leaders on topical issues. One section of the journal will focus on teaching, written to enhance the practice of community and academic neurologists involved in the care of MS patients. Summaries of key articles written for a lay audience will be provided as an on-line resource.
A team of four chief editors is supported by leading section editors who will commission and appraise original and review articles concerning: clinical neurology, neuroimaging, neuropathology, neuroepidemiology, therapeutics, genetics / transcriptomics, experimental models, neuroimmunology, biomarkers, neuropsychology, neurorehabilitation, measurement scales, teaching, neuroethics and lay communication.
