    Abstract We report the rare case of a 34-year-old right-handed male who had drug-resistant epilepsy associated with a frontal cavernoma since the age of 13 who was convicted of criminal charges related to seizures. When he was 32 years old, he had a focal seizure with impaired awareness and then he tried to grab a 7-year-old girl who was in a car coming out from a dance class. He was arrested and taken to the police station. Later that day, the patient was being interrogated by a police officer when he had a hypermotor seizure at the end of the interview. He punched the policeman leading to multiple charges laid, including kidnapping, unlawful confinement, and assault causing bodily harm. He remained in jail for the next year and a half. During this time, he had epilepsy surgery for resection of the cavernoma. The patient was rendered seizure-free after resection of the cavernoma for one-year. Due to the occurrence of seizures before the alleged "kidnapping" and based upon his interview with the policeman, the patient was acquitted from all legal charges. We review available cases of non-homicidal criminality with a legal outcome in this article.

    Abstract Marijuana is the dried leaves, stems, and flowers of a 1- to 5-m weed originating from Central Asia. The most common varieties are Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica. It is usually inhaled as smoke but can also be used as a vapor, taken by mouth as a spray, ingested in tea or as butter in baked goods, or in capsule form and used as an oil. Cannabis has been widely used to treat many medical conditions such as multiple sclerosis symptoms, mood disorders, pain, sleep disorders, and seizures among others. Preclinical and clinical studies have been done over the past decade, among them there are few randomized placebo-controlled trials. In the last few years, Cannabis has been proposed as a potential therapy for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. This review analyzes the best information about the use of cannabis in adult patients, reviewing aspects of efficacy and safety.

    Abstract The coexistence of focal and generalized epilepsy is rare. We report on a 17-year-old male with drug-resistant focal epilepsy and idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE). He began to experience generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) at the age of 3 years, with a good response to phenobarbital. At the age of 14 years, he began to experience complex partial seizures (CPS). Video-electroencephalography (video-EEG) telemetry showed the coexistence of right temporal spikes and bursts of generalized spike-wave (GSW). The ictal EEG showed a unique EEG pattern characterized by a 4- to 5-second burst of GSW followed by rhythmic delta activity over the right temporal region. A magnetic resonance image (MRI) showed right hippocampal sclerosis. The patient underwent a right temporal lobectomy that significantly improved his seizure control. He was rendered seizure free of the complex partial seizures and improvement of the GTCS. This case illustrates a very uncommon ictal EEG pattern, and shows that the decision for surgery in patients with focal drug-resistant epilepsy should not be affected by coexistent generalized epilepsy.

    Abstract Purpose: To estimate the incidence of epilepsy in Saskatchewan, Canada between 2005 and 2010 by using provincial administrative health database stratifying gender, age, self-reported Registered Indian (RI) status and secular trends.
    Methods: An epilepsy database was created through linkage of services claims data from the provincial health database of Saskatchewan, Canada between 2005 and 2010 with a four years washout period (2001-2004). The algorithm used was at least two physician visit with the diagnosis of epilepsy on a different date within 730 days or at least one hospital separation with the diagnosis of epilepsy.
    Results: Between 2005 and 2010 the overall crude and age-standardized incidences of epilepsy were 63 new epilepsy patients per 100,000 person-years and 62 per 100,000 person-years respectively. The overall age-specific incidence showed a gradual increase toward a high point in elderly. The incidence rate was slightly higher in men than in women who were older than 39 years. There was a significant downward trend over time in the incidence of epilepsy from 2005 to 2010 in Saskatchewan. For self-declared RI the overall age-standardized incidence of epilepsy was 122 per 100,000 person-years. The rate ratio (RR) incidence difference between self-identified Registered Indian (RI) and non-self-identified RI was 1.6.
    Conclusions: The incidence of epilepsy in Saskatchewan, Canada was comparable to previous incidence studies from developed countries. This study is the first Canadian study calculating the secular trends and all-age group incidence of epilepsy and one of the few studies showing the incidence of epilepsy in a self-declared Registered Indian population.
