  • Title: Partial seizures associated with antiphospholipid antibodies in childhood.
    Author: Angelini L, Granata T, Zibordi F, Binelli S, Zorzi G, Besana C.
    Journal: Neuropediatrics; 1998 Oct; 29(5):249-53. PubMed ID: 9810560.
    Abstract:
    We report antiphospholipid antibody positivity in three of a consecutive series of 23 children presenting partial epileptic seizures. There was no clinical or serological evidence of systemic lupus erythematosus or other connective-tissue disease. Neither computed tomography nor magnetic resonance imaging revealed ischemic alteration. The presence of antiphospholipid antibodies in 3/23 children may indicate that immune-mediated neuronal damage could be a pathogenetic mechanism for partial epilepsy.
