TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided a preliminary description of the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 and brain sequelae, despite the limited evidence available and the heterogeneity of the studies.

TL;DR: Most patients reported adverse events (AEs), generally from mild to moderate and transient, which mainly consisted of somnolence, sedation, decreased appetite, diarrhea and elevation in aminotransferase levels, the last being documented only in subjects on concomitant valproate therapy.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between VPA avoidance/switch and seizure outcome in women of childbearing potential.

TL;DR: A 37‐year‐old patient, affected by both drug‐resistant generalized idiopathic epilepsy and headache, who displayed the sudden onset of a headache attack referred during a 24‐h electroencephalography (EEG) revealed the activation of subcontinuous epileptic activity consisting of generalized spike‐wave discharges and generalized polyspike and wave discharges that persisted for 60 min, until the disappearance of the headache.

TL;DR: A large number of patients (both drug resistant and seizure free) with AEEG-documented ictal events (UIEs) not reported in a self-kept diary are revealed, highlighting the usefulness of AEEGs in clinical practice as a means of more accurately ascertaining seizure freedom and supporting decisions involving the renewal or granting of a driving license.
