Seizure clusters: A common, understudied and undertreated phenomenon in refractory epilepsy.

Arpitha Komaragiri1, Kamil Detyniecki2, Lawrence J Hirsch2.   

Abstract

Epilepsy is widely prevalent globally and has emerged as a well-studied neurological condition in the recent past. Seizure clusters, a type of seizures, and several aspects pertaining to the etiopathogenesis and management of clusters are yet to be elucidated. This review is an attempt to recapitulate the current understanding of seizure clusters based on the research that has been performed on seizure clusters. This article will provide a comprehensive review of various aspects of clusters, and discusses definitions, prevalence, risk factors, impact on quality of life, approved treatment modalities, and recent advances in management.
