Study design: A retrospective revie w of records of 14 patients with HI/HA. Results: Nine patients had seizures as t he first symptom of HI/HA, and six had seizures in the absence of hypoglycemia. No electroencephalogram (EEG) background abnormalities were identified. In four patients, EEG recordings during seizures in the setting of normal blood glucose contained generalized epileptiform discharges. EEGs of three of these patients s howed 0.5- to 2- second generalized irregular spike- and- wave discharge at 3 to 6 Hz corresponding to eye blinks, eye rolling, or staring. The EEG of the f ourth patient consisted of 20 seconds of generalized regular spike- and- wave discharge at 3 Hz in the clinical context of staring and unresponsiveness. In tw o patients, seizure control worsened with carbamezapine or oxcarbezapine treatme nt. Conclusions: In patients with HI/HA, generalized seizures are common and can occur in the absence of hypoglycemia. The drugs carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine should be used with caution for treatment. Pathogenesis of epilepsy in these pa tients may be related to effects of GDH mutations in the brain, perhaps in combi nation with effects of recurrent hypoglycemia and chronic hyperammonemia.展开更多
