A prospective study of motor recovery following multiple subpial transections.
A prospective study of motor recovery was undertaken in a patient scheduled to undergo multiple subpial transections (MST) of right sensorimotor cortex. Pre-transection, functional MRI (fMRI) and cortical stimulation mapping confirmed left hand motor control within right primary motor cortex. Immediately post-transection, behavioral testing demonstrated preserved strength bilaterally but decrea...
متن کاملSubpial demyelination in the cerebral cortex of multiple sclerosis patients.
The extent and pattern of demyelination in the cerebral cortex was determined in 78 tissue blocks from the brains of 20 multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and 28 tissue blocks from 7 patients without neurological disease. Tissue blocks from 4 predetermined areas (cingulate gyrus, frontal, parietal, and temporal lobe) were studied, irrespective of macroscopically evident MS plaques. All tissue blo...
متن کاملMultiple subpial transection: a review of 21 cases.
Multiple subpial transection (MST) is a novel technique in surgery for epilepsy, employed in patients where some or all of the epileptogenic zone cannot be resected because it lies in a vital cortical area. Twenty one patients subjected to MST were reviewed. Eighteen patients had medically intractable epilepsy and three patients had Landau-Kleffner syndrome. Their ages ranged from 6 to 47 (mean...
متن کاملInvestigation of magnetization transfer ratio-derived pial and subpial abnormalities in the multiple sclerosis spinal cord.
Neuropathological studies in multiple sclerosis have suggested that meningeal inflammation in the brain may be linked to disease progression. Inflammation in the spinal cord meninges has been associated with axonal loss, a pathological substrate for disability. Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging facilitates the investigation of spinal cord microstructure by approximating histopathological ...
متن کاملTreatment of refractory partial status epilepticus with multiple subpial transection: case report
Status epilepticus (SE) represents a medical emergency that annually affects 60,000--150,000 individuals in the United States. Selective neuronal loss in vulnerable areas has been pathologically demonstrated following convulsive SE primarily affecting the limbic system, thalamus and cerebellum. Morbidity in those cases that follow refractory SE (RSE) is poorly documented. There have been anecdo...
