BMJ Neurology Open 2026;8(2):e001733. Published online: 11 September 2026. DOI: 10.1136/bmjno-2026-001733.

A retrospective single-centre study of seizure-associated asystole, relevant to evaluating unexplained falls or fainting in people with epilepsy. Its findings are not local clinic outcome data.

Shades of a channelopathy-Hypoperfusion, excitability, or both: A case video

Rutul Shah, Abhishek Gohel, Sagari Gullapalli, Navin Mathew, Siby Gopinath.

Epileptic Disorders 2023;25(3):422-425. DOI: 10.1002/epd2.20025.

A case video exploring channelopathy, hypoperfusion and excitability, relevant to the differential assessment of seizure-like events. A single case does not establish diagnostic accuracy or treatment outcomes.

Wada Demonstrates Ipsilateral Language Function in Dyke-Davidoff-Masson Syndrome

Rutul Shah, Siby Gopinath, Abhishek Gohel, Sreelakshmi Narayanan, Ashok Pillai, Ramiah Rajesh Kannan, Talal Almashaikhi.

International Journal of Epilepsy 2023;9(1/2):24-26. Published online: 14 August 2024. DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1788708.

This case report describes presurgical language assessment using the Wada test in a patient with Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) and drug-resistant epilepsy. Language function was demonstrated in the affected hemisphere, informing assessment before a proposed hemispherotomy.

It is a single-patient case report, not evidence of epilepsy surgery outcomes or confirmation that Wada testing is available locally.
