ZusammenfassungDen selbstlimitierenden fokalen Epilepsien im Kindesalter, eine heterogene Gruppe von Epilepsiesyndromen, sind fokale epileptische Anfälle ohne strukturelle Ursache, charakteristische EEG-Veränderungen und ein meist erfreulicher Verlauf gemeinsam. Zu den selbstlimitierenden fokalen Epilepsien gehören gemäß ILAE (International League Against Epilepsy) die selbstlimitierende Epilepsie mit zentrotemporalen Spikes („benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes“ [BCECTS]), die selbstlimitierende okzipitale Epilepsie des Kindesalters mit der Frühform (Typ Panayiotopoulos) und der Spätform (Typ Gastaut) sowie auch selbstlimitierende Epilepsien aus dem Frontal‑, Temporal und Parietallappen. Man geht davon aus, dass die selbstlimitierenden fokalen Epilepsien im Kindesalter in einem nosologischen Kontinuum beschrieben werden können und ätiologisch in aller Wahrscheinlichkeit einer gemeinsamen, genetisch definierten Störung des zerebralen Reifungsprozesses entspringen. In diesem Artikel werden wir im Detail auf die selbstlimitierenden fokalen Epilepsien aus dem Okzipital- und Parietallappen eingehen.

Object Interrater reliability as measured by the kappa (κ) statistic is a widely used and valuable tool to measure the robustness of a scoring system. Seizure frequency reduction is a central outcome measure following vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). A specific VNS scoring system has been proposed by McHugh, but its interrater reliability has not been tested. The authors assessed its interrater reliability and compared it with that of the Engel and International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) systems. Methods Using the Engel, ILAE, and McHugh scoring systems, 3 observers independently rated the medical records of children who had undergone vagus nerve stimulator implantation between January 2001 and April 2011 at the Southampton University Hospital. The interrater agreements were then calculated using the κ statistic. Results Interrater reliability for the McHugh scale (κ0.693) was very good and was superior to those of the Engel (κ0.464) and ILAE (κ0.491) systems for assessing outcome in patients undergoing VNS. Conclusions The authors recommend considering the McHugh scoring system when assessing outcomes following VNS.
