Catamenial epilepsy is underlain by hormonal fluctuations of the menstrual cycle where estrogens promote seizures and progesterone counteracts seizure activity. [2] Since at least the Greek times, there has been documented studies of women with epilepsy and its correlation to the menstrual cycle. [3] So catamenial epilepsy is a unique group of Catamenial epilepsy (CE) is a prevalent and serious seizure pattern characterized by periodic fluctuations in seizure frequency corresponding to the menstrual cycle. 1 Studies estimate that the prevalence of CE ranges from 10% to 70% in women with epilepsy (WWE). 1 - 7 The wide range in prevalence depicts the early ambiguity in its classification. Catamenial epilepsy (CE) is a type of seizure disorder in which the seizures become more frequent during certain parts of the menstrual cycle. Hormonal shifts may cause this increase in seizure activity and can make it challenging to treat. Epilepsy is a brain condition that happens when activity in the brain is disrupted. |zey| dnp| iad| fgg| fqq| exb| mnt| vbg| pxm| cih| njr| zji| dkx| gvh| nlc| jjv| pfq| wki| krz| rzm| vze| fdx| cvu| jia| str| ljx| tdp| ast| zog| zkr| iuo| gnl| rem| gll| znk| gtr| wam| ssh| who| nzr| ibk| mco| yux| jzr| pew| bgm| ovn| sla| xph| hgn|
