Abstract (english)
Epileptic encephalopathies are epilepsy syndromes in which the epileptiform abnormalities themselves are believed to contribute to a progressive disturbance in cerebral function. The two most important syndromes in this group are West and Lennox–Gastaut syndromes. West syndrome frequently occurs in the fi rst year of life, in clusters with consequences such as developmental arrest and mental retardation. It characteristically presents with the triad of infantile epileptic spasms, developmental delay and hypsarrhytmia. The treatment is ACTH, prednisolone or valproate. Lennox–Gastaut syndrome typically presents with multiple seizure types, slow spike–wave complexes in the EEG and impaired cognitive function. It is treated with felbamate, lamotrigine, topiramate and rufi namide with poor response to treatment.
Abstract (croatian)
Epileptične su encefalopatije epileptični sindromi kod kojih se vjeruje da su same epileptiformne abnormalnosti čimbenik nastanka progresivnih poteškoća u cerebralnoj funkciji. Dva najznačajnija sindroma u ovoj skupini su sindromi West i Lennox– Gastaut. Westov sindrom se učestalo pojavljuje u prvoj godini života s posljedicama kao što su zastoj u razvoju i mentalna retardacija. Trijas karakterističan za ovaj sindrom čine infantilni epileptični spazmi, zastoj u razvoju i hipsaritmija. Uobičajeno se liječi s ACTH, prednizolonom ili valproatom. Za Lennox-Gastautov su sindrom tipični različiti oblici konvulzija, spori šiljak-val kompleksi u EEG-u i oštećena kognitivna funkcija. Liječi se felbamatom, lamotriginom, topiramatom i rufi namidom uz slab odgovor na liječenje.
