There are four main groups of epileptic syndrome which can be further divided into: benign Rolandic epilepsy, frontal lobe epilepsy, infantile spasms, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, juvenile absence epilepsy, childhood absence epilepsy ( pyknolepsy ), hot water epilepsy, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, Landau-Kleffner syndrome, Dravet syndrome, progressive myoclonus epilepsies, reflex epilepsy, Rasmussen's syndrome, temporal lobe epilepsy, limbic epilepsy, status epilepticus, abdominal epilepsy, massive bilateral myoclonus, catamenial epilepsy, Jacksonian seizure disorder, Lafora disease, photosensitive epilepsy, etc.

At Centre Saint Paul, one of her supervisors was Henri Gastaut, who described the Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

* Lennox-Gastaut syndrome ( LGS ) is a generalized epilepsy that consists of a triad of developmental delay or childhood dementia, mixed generalized seizures, and EEG demonstrating a pattern of approximately 2 Hz " slow " spike-waves.

In general, most surviving patients remain with significant cognitive impairment and continuing seizures and may evolve to another eponymic syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

Case series have demonstrated similar efficacies in certain generalized epilepsies, such as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

In children, it is indicated for the treatment of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a disorder that causes seizures and developmental delay.

In rare cases, myoclonic seizures can be symptomatic of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, beginning in early childhood and usually involving the face, neck, shoulders, and upper arms.

* Lennox-Gastaut syndrome: A epileptic syndrome with onset in childhood with myoclonic seizures at night, head nodding, and drop attacks particularly prominent.

It is minor and relatively common, and can be indicative of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome ( see Henri Gastaut ).

Currently, the surgery is a palliative treatment method for many forms of epilepsy, including atonic seizures, generalized seizures, and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

As in West syndrome, LGS result from idiopathic, symptomatic, or cryptogenic causes, and many patients first have West syndrome.

Langer-Giedion Syndrome ( LGS ), also called trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type II ( TRPS2 ) or LGCR ( for " Langer-Giedion Chromosome Region "), is a very uncommon autosomal dominant genetic disorder caused by a deletion of chromosomal material.

Lennox – Gastaut syndrome ( LGS ), also known as Lennox syndrome, is a difficult-to-treat form of childhood-onset epilepsy that most often appears between the second and sixth year of life, and is characterized by frequent seizures and different seizure types ; it is often accompanied by developmental delay and psychological and behavioral problems.

Acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis ( AHL, or AHLE ), also known as acute necrotizing encephalopathy ( ANE ), acute hemorrhagic encephalomyelitis ( AHEM ), acute necrotizing hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis ( ANHLE ), Weston-Hurst syndrome, or Hurst's disease, is a hyperacute and frequently fatal form of ADEM.

It appears as the Kahlbaum syndrome ( retarded catatonia ), malignant catatonia ( neuroleptic malignant syndrome, toxic serotonin syndrome ), and excited forms ( delirious mania, catatonic excitement, oneirophrenia ).

* John Parkinson ( 1885 – 1976 ), known for Wolff – Parkinson – White syndrome

* Helen B. Taussig ( 1898 – 1986 ), founder of pediatric cardiology and extensively worked on blue baby syndrome

* Paul Dudley White ( 1886 – 1973 ), known for Wolff – Parkinson – White syndrome

* Louis Wolff ( 1898 – 1972 ), known for Wolff – Parkinson – White syndrome

Other prion diseases include Gerstmann – Sträussler – Scheinker syndrome ( GSS ), fatal familial insomnia ( FFI ) and kuru in humans, as well as bovine spongiform encephalopathy ( BSE, commonly known as mad cow disease ) in cattle, chronic wasting disease ( CWD ) in elk and deer, and scrapie in sheep.

Due to an affliction affecting bats in the northeastern US known as white nose syndrome ( WNS ), the US Fish & Wildlife Service has called for a moratorium effective March 26, 2009 on caving activity in states known to have hibernacula ( MD, NY, VT, NH, MA, CT, NJ, PA, VA, and WV ) affected by WNS, as well as adjoining states.

With sinus node dysfunction ( sometimes called sick sinus syndrome ), there may be disordered automaticity or impaired conduction of the impulse from the sinus node into the surrounding atrial tissue ( an " exit block ").

It is also used off-label for a variety of indications, including attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ), schizophrenia, phantom limb syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome, paroxysmal extreme pain disorder, neuromyotonia, intermittent explosive disorder, borderline personality disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Carbamazepine may cause syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone ( SIADH ), since it both increases the release and potentiates the action of ADH ( vasopressin ).

The FDA informed health care professionals that dangerous or even fatal skin reactions ( Stevens – Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis ), that can be caused by carbamazepine therapy, are significantly more common in patients with a particular human leukocyte antigen ( HLA ) allele, HLA-B * 1502.

Some alternative medicine proponents postulate a widespread occurrence of systemic candidiasis ( or candida hypersensitivity syndrome, yeast allergy, or gastrointestinal candida overgrowth ), a medically unrecognised condition.

They are often portrayed as children with Williams syndrome ( which was not recognised as a medical condition but some specialist believe that people were enchanted with their character and appearance that they believed to be magical ), usually with fair hair.

Since 1997, the ILAE have been working on a new scheme that has five axes: ictal phenomenon, ( pertaining to an epileptic seizure ), seizure type, syndrome, etiology, impairment.

Very likely it will also include a recognition that the work we are reading reflects or `` belongs to '' some way of thought labelled as a `` school '' or an `` -ism '', i.e. a complex or `` syndrome '' of ideas occurring together with sufficient prominence to warrant identification.

It is also used to treat symptoms of traumatic brain injury ( TBI ) and the daytime drowsiness symptoms of narcolepsy, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome ( POTS ) and chronic fatigue syndrome ( CFS ).

Conversely, the withdrawal syndrome may also be a trigger for relapse.

A kindling effect also occurs in alcoholics whereby each subsequent withdrawal syndrome is more severe than the previous withdrawal episode ; this is due to neuroadaptations which occur as a result of periods of abstinence followed by re-exposure to alcohol.

Phantom sensations and phantom pain may also occur after the removal of body parts other than the limbs, e. g. after amputation of the breast, extraction of a tooth ( phantom tooth pain ) or removal of an eye ( phantom eye syndrome ).

Tolerance can develop to their effects and there is also a risk of dependence, and upon discontinuation a withdrawal syndrome may occur.

Symptoms may also occur during a gradual dosage reduction, but are typically less severe and may persist as part of a protracted withdrawal syndrome for months after cessation of benzodiazepines.

Alpers ' syndrome in infants is also thought to be a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy caused by a prion.

This category generally includes minimally conscious state and persistent vegetative state, but sometimes also includes the less severe locked-in syndrome and more severe chronic coma.

Tourette syndrome has also been considered a possibility.

Chlamydia may also cause reactive arthritis ( reiter's syndrome )-the triad of arthritis, conjunctivitis and urethritis ( inflammation of the urethra )-especially in young men.

The snapping of tendons or scar tissue over a prominence ( as in snapping hip syndrome ) can also generate a loud snapping or popping sound.

The term " osmotic demyelination syndrome " is similar to " central pontine myelinolysis ", but also includes areas outside the pons.

NBTE may also occur in patients with cancers, particularly mucinous adenocarcinoma where Trousseau syndrome can be encountered.

They were also unable to cast a baby with Down's syndrome for the first few episodes, which is why the baby appeared rigid.

Recurrent mild hypoglycemia may fit a reactive hypoglycemia pattern, but this is also the peak age for idiopathic postprandial syndrome, and recurrent " spells " in this age group can be traced to orthostatic hypotension or hyperventilation as often as demonstrable hypoglycemia.

However another study, had observed that pusher syndrome is also present in patients with left hemisphere lesions, leading to aphasia, providing a stark contrast to what was previously believed regarding hemispatial neglect, which mostly occurs with a right hemisphere lesion.

Neuromyotonia ( NMT ), also known as Isaacs ' syndrome, is a form of peripheral nerve hyperexcitability that causes spontaneous muscular activity resulting from repetitive motor unit action potentials of peripheral origin.

A very small proportion of cases with NMT may develop central nervous system findings in their clinical course, causing a disorder called Morvan's syndrome and they may also have antibodies against potassium channels in their serum samples.

Ibuprofen may also rarely cause irritable bowel syndrome symptoms.

NSAIDs are also implicated in some cases of Stevens – Johnson syndrome.
