ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: How epilepsy surgery influences the bidirectional relationship of epilepsy and depression remains poorly defined. METHOD: For a better understanding of this question, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of risk ratio on depression prevalence before and after epilepsy surgery, using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Three databases were comprehensively screened for all studies assessing depression before and after resective surgery in adult epileptic patients until 8 October 2022. Studies were included if depression was assessed before and after epilepsy surgery regardless of the time of follow-up. A total of 1917 studies were screened for eligibility and 91 full-texts up for inclusion; 35 studies were finally included, 25 studies and 2563 patients were included in main meta-analysis and 10 for exploratory analysis. Risk of bias was assessed using Risk Of Bias In Non-randomised Studies - of Interventions (ROBINS-I) from Cochrane. To derive the pooled depression rates before and after surgery, a meta-analysis with inversed-variance was performed using random-effects logistic models with Peto's correction and a 95% CI. Heterogeneity was assessed with Cochran's Q-test along with its derived measure of inconsistency I2. RESULTS: Overall, the depression rates before and after resective epilepsy surgery were 0.70 (0.53 to 0.91) 95% CI, suggesting that the rate of depression at last follow-up evaluation tends to decrease after Resective Epilepsy Surgery (RES). Subgroup analysis suggest a positive long-term effect appears with a significant lower rates of depression already 6 months (0.61 (0.38 to 0.98)), after surgery which is maintained over time after 1 year (0.53 (0.31 to 0.90)), and after 2 years (0.62 (0.42 to 0.92)). CONCLUSION: This important finding should be taken in consideration before resective surgery for drug-resistant epilepsies. However, prospective studies should be conducted to characterise which patient, at the individual level, might be at risk of de novo or worsening of depression.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: FLNA Loss-of-Function (LoF) causes periventricular nodular heterotopia type 1 (PVNH1), an acknowledged cause of seizures of various types. Neurological symptoms are inconstant, and cardiovascular (CV) defects or connective tissue disorders (CTD) have regularly been associated. We aimed at refining the description of CV and CTD features in patients with FLNA LoF and depicting the multisystemic nature of this condition. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated FLNA variants and clinical presentations in FLNA LoF patient with at least one CV or CTD feature, from three cohorts: ten patients from the French Reference Center for Rare Vascular Diseases, 23 patients from the national reference diagnostic lab for filaminopathies-A, and 59 patients from literature review. RESULTS: Half of patients did not present neurological symptoms. Most patients presented a syndromic association combining CV and CTD features. CV anomalies, mostly aortic aneurysm and/or dilation were present in 75% of patients. CTD features were present in 75%. Variants analysis demonstrated an enrichment of coding variants in the CH1 domain of FLNA protein. CONCLUSION: In FLNA LoF patients, the absence of seizures should not be overlooked. When considering a diagnosis of PVNH1, the assessment for CV and CTD anomalies is of major interest as they represent interlinked features. We recommend systematic study of FLNA within CTD genes panels, regardless of the presence of neurological symptoms.
