The fluttering phase was characterised initially by asymmetric, less rhythmic, and less synchronous tremulous movement and was then followed by the subtle clonic phase. Subtle oral automatism was observed in the postictal phase.[scicombinator.com]

Management and treatment The treatment of choice for ADNFLE includes use of carbamazepine (200-1,000 mg/day). Carbamazepine abolishes seizures in 20% of cases, and gives significant relief (at least 50 % seizure reduction) in another 48%.[orpha.net]

Treatment effectiveness can vary greatly amongst frontal lobe epilepsy patients. People with brain injuries or malformations often must take medication for the duration of their lives.[uwhealth.org]
Engel class I and Engel class II were defined as good prognosis, and Engel class III and Engel class IV were defined as poor prognosis. The ILAE classification system 1, 2 and 3 were defined as good prognosis, 4 and 5 were defined as poor prognosis.[alliedacademies.org]
Prognosis ADNFLE is lifelong but not progressive. As an individual reaches middle age, attacks may become milder and less frequent. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only.[orpha.net]
An important feature in prognosis is the early recognition of frontal lobe seizures as an epileptic syndrome rather than as a parasomnia or a psychiatric condition. Patient Education Patient education is important for all patients with epilepsy.[emedicine.medscape.com]
This not only requires early seizure control but also the recognition of the poor global prognosis of this nonlesional form of epilepsy, which should help us obtain special help from educational professionals for these children at the time of diagnosis[onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
[…] impairment within the motor-controlled system including the cerebellum and the caudate/putamen in FLE patients, this therefore suggest that the deficits in GMV at the caudate and putamen as well as their causality would enhance understanding in the prognosis[bmcneurol.biomedcentral.com]
We believe that in children, FLE, even without a known etiology, can not be considered benign.[onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
Etiology ADNFLE results from malfunction in the thalamo-cortical loops. The genes involved are CHRNA4 (20q13.33), CHRNB2 (1q21.3), CHRNA2 (8p21), KCNT1 (9q34.3), DEPDC5 (22q12.3), CRH (8q13), and CABP4 (11q13.2).[orpha.net]

Low therapy adherence seems to have a multifactorial origin with some factors being associated with neuropsychological impairments and psychiatric co-morbidities of chronic diseases [ 11 ], and others reflecting pathophysiological changes of neural networks[royalsocietypublishing.org]
Pathophysiological conclusions NFLE has a peculiar relationship to the physiology of sleep. Polygraphic recordings show that a mesiofrontal epileptic focus is often activated during NREM sleep.[academic.oup.com]
Medications [ edit ] Anticonvulsants are the most successful medication in reducing and preventing seizures from reoccurring.[en.wikipedia.org]
