We recently published our experience with VNS in epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia (EEM), formerly Jeavons syndrome. A rare epilepsy syndrome, with ~80% patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.
Grateful for mentorship of @KMSmithMD and everyone who contributed.

When should new-onset #seizures raise concern for #autoimmune #encephalitis?
Kelsey M. Smith, MD (@KMSmithMD) and Jeffrey W. Britton, MD (@JeffBrittonMD) review #NMDA receptor, #LGI1, and #GAD65 antibody syndromes, antibody testing, #immunotherapy, and malignancy screening.

We lost a legend in neurology, Dr. Barbara Westmoreland
🔹 described EEG findings like periodic sharps in HSV
🔹 consummate neurophysiology educator
🔹second woman on staff @MayoClinicNeuro
🔹 president of AES and ACNS.
Thank you, Dr. Westmoreland, for paving the way

Identifying patients with #GAD65 antibody–associated epilepsy is important due to its drug resistance, lower rate of satisfactory surgical outcomes, and potential responsiveness to immunotherapy.

Check out this great collaboration on insights into #epilepsy and #menopause. The key takeaway is that menopause is complex, with many factors that can influence various aspects of epilepsy

This is an important paper.
➡️GAD epilepsy is distinctive. ➡️At multiple levels including demographics, comorbidities, semiologies and - as sadly I commonly see in clinical practice - lack of seizure Rx responses.

How should we treat pts with #EEM (Jeavons syndrome)?
•1st line: valproate, levetiracetam, lamotrigine
•2nd line: ethosuximide, clobazam
•3rd line: other #ASMs
*Avoid Na channel blockers (except for LTG)
