Drug-resistant Focal Epilepsy due to Focal Cortical Dysplasia: A Case Report

نویسندگان

چکیده

Focal cortical dysplasias (FCDs) belong to the large spectrum of malformations development (MCDs) and represent most common structural brain lesion in children with drug-resistant focal epilepsies submitted surgical treatment. It is responsible for nearly half intractable epilepsy cases adults, at same time it characterized by quite good treatment outcome. We describe a case where young girl had been suffering from was on two medicines. She operated upon relieved her symptoms. Her histopathological examination revealed dysplasia. have keep mind that FCD can present as low grade glioma treat carefully.

Familial focal epilepsy with focal cortical dysplasia due to DEPDC5 mutations.

OBJECTIVE The DEPDC5 (DEP domain-containing protein 5) gene, encoding a repressor of the mTORC1 signaling pathway, has recently emerged as a major gene mutated in familial focal epilepsies. We aimed to further extend the role of DEPDC5 to focal cortical dysplasias (FCDs). METHODS Seven patients from 4 families with DEPDC5 mutations and focal epilepsy associated with FCD were recruited and inv...

A Surgical Case of Frontal Lobe Epilepsy Due to Focal Cortical Dysplasia Accompanied by Olfactory Nerve Enlargement: Case Report

A 45-year-old man came to our clinic due to refractory general tonic seizure and an attack of unintended yelling. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated mild cortical hyperintensity on fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) image in the left basal frontal area. Enlargement of the left olfactory nerve was also detected below the affected gyrus. Subtotal resection of the MRI-visible e...

Focal Cortical Dysplasia and Epilepsy Surgery

Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is the most commonly encountered developmental malformation that causes refractory epilepsy. With advances in neuroimaging techniques, in particular MRI, recent studies have revealed a higher prevalence of FCD than previously estimated and have improved the preoperative identification and classification of these abnormalities. However, MRI frequently does not show...

Imaging inflammation in a patient with epilepsy due to focal cortical dysplasia.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Evidence from animal models and examination of human epilepsy surgery specimens indicates that inflammation plays an important role in epilepsy. Positron emission tomography (PET) using [C11]PK11195, a marker of activated microglia, provides a means to visualize neuroinflammation in vivo in humans. We hypothesize that in patients with active epilepsy, [C11]PK11195 PET (PK...
