While the past 2 decades have witnessed an increasing understanding of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) arising from East Asia, particularly Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China, knowledge of ALS throughout the whole of Asia remains limited. Asia represents >50% of the world population, making it host to the largest patient cohort of ALS. Furthermore, Asia represents a diverse population in terms of ethnic, social and cultural backgrounds. In this review, an overview is presented that covers what is currently known of ALS in Asia from basic epidemiology and genetic influences, through to disease characteristics including atypical phenotypes which manifest a predilection for Asians. With the recent establishment of the Pan-Asian Consortium for Treatment and Research in ALS to facilitate collaborations between clinicians and researchers across the region, it is anticipated that Asia and the Pacific will contribute to unravelling the uncertainties in ALS.

“…This difference could be since all ring-enhancing lesions were thought to be tuberculomas previously because tuberculosis was considered the commonest disease in India. [16] [26,27,28] When an analysis was made between the neurological findings and EEG, both abnormalities of the neurological examination and epileptiform discharges were found in 24% of patients in the present study. Schumacher et al have demonstrated similar features in 52% of patients.…”

Focal-onset seizures account for approximately 40% of seizures in children. Focal seizures are most commonly associated with underlying brain pathology in extreme age groups. Clinical correlation and localizing the site of the lesion play an important role in the early diagnosis and proper management of focal seizures in children. Objectives: To study the clinical profile and correlation of EEG and CT findings in children admitted to the paediatric ward of Medical College.A prospective study on the correlation of focal seizures, CT brain, and EEG studies was carried out in children in the age group of 1 month–14 years admitted to the Department of Pediatrics at Medical College & Hospital, Karnataka. Among the (n=50) study subjects, the majority of the children with focal seizures were in the age group of 6–10 years, with a slight male preponderance.(n=22) (44% of the children) presented with focal-aware seizures. The most common brain lesions detected were calcified disc lesions and cysticercosis ring lesions (52%).45% of children with focal seizures had epileptiform discharges. We also observed that complementary to CT brain scans in correlating with the clinical history. It was noted that44% of children with focal seizures had normal CT brain scans and normal EEG studies. A good clinical history is crucial in the diagnosis of focal seizures. Most focal seizures are associated with underlying organic brain lesions. A CT brain scan plays an important role in the detection of brain lesions in children with focal seizures. The EEG study complements history and CT scan of the brain in defining and correlating the lesions precisely.
