[The clinical and electrophysiological aspects of catamenial epilepsy]. 1993

V A Karlov, and B S Ovnatanov, and P N Vlasov

Clinical and electrophysiological methods were used to examine 25 women of fertile age, suffering from catamenial epilepsy (CE), 18 patients with a well-defined relationship between disease exacerbation and menstruation, and 7 patients without the given relationship. Electroencephalography followed by compression spectral analysis was carried out over time, namely on days, 1, 7 and 21 of the menstrual cycle. Significant differences were found between the groups as regards the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics. This enabled the authors to regard the group comprising 18 patients with a rigid relationship between epilepsy exacerbations and the menstrual period as having an isolated CE syndrome.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008597 Menstrual Cycle The period from onset of one menstrual bleeding (MENSTRUATION) to the next in an ovulating woman or female primate. The menstrual cycle is regulated by endocrine interactions of the HYPOTHALAMUS; the PITUITARY GLAND; the ovaries; and the genital tract. The menstrual cycle is divided by OVULATION into two phases. Based on the endocrine status of the OVARY, there is a FOLLICULAR PHASE and a LUTEAL PHASE. Based on the response in the ENDOMETRIUM, the menstrual cycle is divided into a proliferative and a secretory phase.

D004594 Electrophysiology The study of the generation and behavior of electrical charges in living organisms particularly the nervous system and the effects of electricity on living organisms.
D004827 Epilepsy A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy).
