Abstract

There is a difference in prevalence of Epilepsy in General population & MS patients. Interical Epileptiform Discharges (IED) positivity in EEG is also different in the above two populations. Demyelination slows down the conduction speed of axons and author is proposing that different speed of conduction in adjacent axons can generate re-entrant circuits. If the reentrant circuits involve Corpus callosum (CC) fibers, seizure activities of MS can be triggered. DBS applied to CC can terminate the seizure attack of MS like Vagal Nerve Simulator (VNS) in terminating seizure in general population.

Highlights

  • Epilepsy in general population: The prevalence of epilepsy in general population is 0.97% (Joint Epilepsy Council of the UK and Ireland 2011)

  • There is a difference in prevalence of Epilepsy in General population & Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients

  • Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) applied to Corpus callosum (CC) can terminate the seizure attack of MS like Vagal Nerve Simulator (VNS) in terminating seizure in general population
