10 March 2015

This long-term follow-up provides Class IV evidence that for patients with drug-resistant partial epilepsy, anterior thalamic stimulation is associated with a 69% reduction in seizure frequency and a 34% serious device-related adverse event rate at 5 years.

Seizures in human immunodeficiency virus infection.

M. C. Wong, N. D. Suite, D. Labar
Medicine, Biology
Archives of neurology
1 June 1990

The results suggest that the majority of patients with human immunodeficiency virus and seizures do not have secondary focal brain lesions as the cause of the seizures and that human immunosuppression virus infection alone can, and often does, cause seizures.
