Dravet Syndrome - Softcover
Dravet syndrome is a rare and severe form of epilepsy. Severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy was described for the first time by Charlotte Dravet in 1978 in Marseille. Common characteristics were observed, such as it appearing during the first year of life, sensitivity to fever, various types of seizures particularly myoclonic, and mental retardation. The following descriptions then led to the recognition of a genuine epileptic syndrome. Renzo Guerrini contributed to the understanding of its genetic factors and its response to antiepileptic medication. New drugs have emerged since and studies on cognitive disorders have enabled to determine the delayed development. The authors offer a summary of Dravet syndrome, and in particular, a description of the electroclinical characteristics that will help towards a better diagnosis. The different treatment options are illustrated in the work, which also provides an update on the genetics. While a large number of questions remain on the understanding of this syndrome, this monograph is an essential tool for practitioners to improve the management of children with epilepsy.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: NEUF. Le syndrome de Dravet est un type rare et sévère d'épilepsie. L'" épilepsie myoclonique sévère du nourrisson " a été décrite pour la première fois par Charlotte Dravet en 1978 à Marseille. Des caractéristiques communes y ont été observées : début dans la première année de vie, sensibilité à la fièvre, divers types de crises, notamment myocloniques, et retard mental.Les descriptions suivantes menèrent ensuite à la reconnaissance d'un véritable syndrome épileptique. Renzo Guerrini contribuera à la compréhension de ses facteurs génétiques et de sa réponse aux médicaments anti-épileptiques. De nouvelles molécules ont émergé depuis, et les études sur les troubles cognitifs ont permis de cerner le retard de développement.Les auteurs offrent ici une synthèse sur le syndrome de Dravet, notamment une description des caractéristiques électro-cliniques, qui aidera à un meilleur diagnostic. Les différentes options thérapeutiques sont illustrées dans l'ouvrage qui met également à jour les connaissances en génétique. Même s'il reste de nombreuses questions dans la compréhension de ce syndrome, cette monographie est un outil précieux à destination des praticiens pour une meilleure prise en charge des enfants épileptiques.Livre écrit en anglais - Nombre de page(s) : 120 - Poids : 263g - Langue : ANGLAIS - Genre : Sciences / Médecine en langue anglaise.
