[The utility of interictal SPECT in temporal lobe epilepsy].
INTRODUCTION Interictal brain single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is used in the presurgical evaluation of patients with complex partial epilepsy. The aim of the present study was to compare interictal SPECT, MRI and video-electroencephalography (EEG) for seizure focus localization in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, one year after temporal lobectomy, in order to determine t...
متن کاملDeep brain stimulation in patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy.
PURPOSE This pilot study prospectively evaluated the efficacy of long-term deep brain stimulation (DBS) in medial temporal lobe (MTL) structures in patients with MTL epilepsy. METHODS Twelve consecutive patients with refractory MTL epilepsy were included in this study. The protocol included invasive video-EEG monitoring for ictal-onset localization and evaluation for subsequent stimulation of...
متن کامل[Interictal EEG coherence in patients with partial temporal lobe epilepsy].
AIMS The purpose of this research was to study the spatio-temporal characteristics of the correlation that exists between two simultaneous EEG signals (coherence) in the interictal period in patients with partial epilepsy that is presumably symptomatic of the temporal lobe (ILAE). PATIENTS AND METHODS A study of 13 patients, aged between 17-60 years, was conducted (53% females). A digital EEG...
متن کاملThe mechanisms of medically refractory temporal lobe epilepsy.
The mechanisms underlying the refractory temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) are not well understood. Several explanations for refractory TLE are (1) an overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) encoded by multiple drug resistance 1 (MDR1) gene and other efflux transporters such as multidrug resistance protein (MRP) in the cerebrovascular endothelium in or around the region of the epileptic focus may le...
متن کاملInterictal focal activity in temporal lobe epilepsy.
The paper by Perrine et al (this issue, pp 150-4) is one in a series of recent reports of cognitive outcome after unilateral pallidotomy for patients with Parkinson's disease. 1–4 These studies have taken advantage of sophisticated and selective surgical techniques (and outcome measures) unavailable to earlier, poorly controlled, studies in the pre-levodopa era. More reliable targeting of globu...
