Deep 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 کاملA Decade of Experience with Deep Brain Stimulation for patients with Refractory Medial Temporal Lobe epilepsy
In this study, we present long-term results from patients with medial temporal lobe (MTL) epilepsy treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS). Since 2001, 11 patients (8M) with refractory MTL epilepsy underwent MTL DBS. When unilateral DBS failed to decrease seizures by > 90%, a switch to bilateral MTL DBS was proposed. After a mean follow-up of 8.5 years (range: 67-120 months), 6/11 patients ha...
متن کاملAmygdalohippocampal Deep Brain Stimulation (Ah-DBS) for Refractory Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
Four patients had a left-sided focal medial temporal lobe onset. Three patients had a right-sided regional medial temporal lobe onset. One patient had a bilateral regional temporal lobe onset with predominant involvement of the left side. Two patients had a leftsided regional medial temporal lobe onset. Nine out of 10 patients had a >50% reduction of interictal spikes during the initial AH-DBS ...
متن کاملChronic deep brain stimulation in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy
The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency and the effects of changes in parameters of chronic amygdala-hippocampal deep brain stimulation (AH-DBS) in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Eight pharmacoresistant patients, not candidates for ablative surgery, received chronic AH-DBS (130 Hz, follow-up 12-24 months): two patients with hippocampal sclerosis (HS) and six patients wi...
متن کاملHippocampal deep brain stimulation in nonlesional refractory mesial temporal lobe epilepsy
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of chronic continuous hippocampal deep brain stimulation (DBS) in nonlesional refractory mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. METHODS Three adult patients with medically intractable epilepsy treated with hippocampal DBS were studied. Two patients underwent invasive recordings with depth stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) electrodes to localize ictal onset zone pri...
