Circadian profiles of focal epileptic seizures: A need for reappraisal
چکیده انگلیسی
Circadian rhythm of seizure is underestimated in the study of focal epilepsies. A review of the current literature revealed a clear correlation between cortical epileptogenic focus and the circadian phase of seizure peak occurrence in adult patients. A single diurnal peak at 19:00 was found in seizures originating from the occipital lobe, between 5:00 and 7:00 in frontal lobe seizures, and between 16:00 and 17:00 h in temporal lobe seizures. Two diurnal peaks, between 5:00 and 7:00, and at 23:00 are reported in seizures from the parietal lobe, and between 7:00 to 8:00 and 16:00 to 17:00 in mesial temporal onset seizures. This circadian character of seizure occurrence in focal epilepsies may not be unique to partial seizures since recent clinical and experimental data indicate that generalized seizures also demonstrate circadian effects. The clinical evidence on generalized seizures and epilepsies is not recent, but a formal integration of circadian rhythmicity in our understanding and clinical management of epilepsies may be warranted.
