Journal ArticleDOI
Global cognitive function in children with epilepsy: a community-based study.
Anne T. Berg,John T. Langfitt,Francine M. Testa,Susan R. Levy,Francis J. DiMario,Michael Westerveld,Joseph Kulas +6 more
TL;DR: To determine the frequency and determinants of subnormal global cognitive function in a representative, community‐based sample of children prospectively identified at the time of initial diagnosis of epilepsy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tuberous Sclerosis Consensus Conference: Recommendations for Diagnostic Evaluation
TL;DR: Recommendations were made for diagnostic evaluation at the time of diagnosis, when testing helps both to establish the diagnosis and to identify potential complications, and suggestions for the use of diagnostic tests to identify family members who have tuberous sclerosis complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multicenter Phase 2 Trial of Sirolimus for Tuberous Sclerosis: Kidney Angiomyolipomas and Other Tumors Regress and VEGF- D Levels Decrease

TL;DR: A correlative biomarker study showed that serum VEGF-D levels are elevated at baseline, decrease with sirolimus treatment, and correlate with kidney angiomyolipoma size, which may be a useful biomarker for monitoring kidney angiofibromas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frequency, Prognosis and Surgical Treatment of Structural Abnormalities Seen with Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Childhood Epilepsy.
Anne T. Berg,Gary W. Mathern,Richard A. Bronen,Robert K. Fulbright,Francis J. DiMario,Francine M. Testa,Susan R. Levy +6 more
TL;DR: Recommendations for the use of MRI in evaluating newly diagnosed paediatric epilepsy patients, especially with non-idiopathic syndromes, are supported, and estimates on the utilization of comprehensive evaluations and surgery are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of outcome based on clinical seizure type in newborn infants.
TL;DR: Clinical semiology is predictive of outcome in neonates with seizures and suggests the presence of unique pathophysiologic processes for different seizure types.
