The efficacy of bromides, stiripentol and levetiracetam in two patients with malignant migrating partial seizures in infancy.

Epileptic Disord. 13(1) , 22-6, (2011)

The syndrome of malignant migrating partial seizures in infancy is a devastating, age-specific, epileptic encephalopathy, which still presents an aetiological, pathophysiological and therapeutic problem. In this study, we present two patients who were diagnos...

Stiripentol in refractory status epilepticus.

Epilepsia 54 Suppl 6 , 103-5, (2013)

Benzodiazepines (BZDs), which enhance γ-aminobutyric acid (GABAA ) receptor-mediated inhibition, are the first-line therapy for treatment of status epilepticus (SE). However, pharmacoresistance to BZDs develops rapidly after SE initiation. This is due to an a...

Ketogenic diet also benefits Dravet syndrome patients receiving stiripentol: a prospective pilot study.

Epilepsia 52(7) , e54-7, (2011)

We aimed to test the efficacy of ketogenic diet (KD) in patients with Dravet syndrome (DS) not satisfactorily controlled by antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). We included prospectively 15 DS patients aged >3 years with partial response to AEDs including stiripentol....

Efficacy of stiripentol in hyperthermia-induced seizures in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome.

Epilepsia 53(7) , 1140-5, (2012)

We previously reported a mutant mouse carrying a severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy (SMEI) mutation in Scn1a. In this study, we examined the susceptibility to hyperthermia-induced seizures of heterozygous Scn1a mutant mice (Scn1a(RX/+)) and wild-type (Scn1a...
