| Abstrakt: | Objective: Angelman's syndrome (AS) is accompanied by specific changes in the EEG and genetically determined epilepsy. To analyze the neurological status, changes on EEG, MRI, the course of epilepsy in patients with Angelman syndrome (observed at the Svt. uca`s Institute of Child Neurology and Epilepsy). Material and Methods: 47 patients with a genetically verified diagnosis of AS (aged 2 to 20 years, mean age 8.5 years; 26 boys and 21 girls) were included. The diagnosis was established by DNA methylation in 32 patients and sequencing in 15 patients (12 cases of deletion and 3 cases of nucleotide substitution were identified). Results: Of the 47 patients, 45 have epilepsy. The seizures start up to 5 years of age, inclusive. For treatment, patients received various antiepileptic drugs. Long-term follow-up of epilepsy was followed in 40 of 47 patients, and 36 of 40 achieved drug remission. After several years without seizures, 24 out of 30 had a relapse, which was quickly stopped in 23 out of 30 patients. The severity of the disease is influenced by the nature of the mutation and the length of the deletion, as well as persistent epileptic seizures. The most effective AEDs in patients in our study are: in monotherapy, valproic acid, levetiraceiam, ethosuximide; in duotherapy, valproic acid in combination with levetiracetam or ethosuximide, less often levetiracetam with ethosuximide. Conclusions: Early genetic diagnosis of AS facilitates the selection of AET. |
