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.

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)

Epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia is a rare form of epilepsy with little published research. Delays in diagnosis are common. Two recent publications outline international consensus recommendations on how to diagnose and treat this epilepsy: https://t.co/52ern7KIdc
Identifying neurologic involvement in patients with systemic histiocytosis can be difficult. Here we show blood neurofilament light chain is associated with CNS involvement in histiocytosis and may be a useful screening and staging tool https://t.co/MFUO8YzDey @MayoClinicNeuro
Key point: "Antibodies to LGI1, NMDAR, and GAD65 are the most common antibodies found in patients with autoimmune encephalitis and autoimmune-associated seizure disorders."
