Presurgical Language Mapping in Patients With Intractable Epilepsy: A Review Study
Introduction: about 20% to 30% of patients with epilepsy are diagnosed with drug-resistant epilepsy and one third of these are candidates for epilepsy surgery. Surgical resection of the epileptogenic tissue is a well-established method for treating patients with intractable focal epilepsy. Determining language laterality and locality is an important part of a comprehensive epilepsy program befo...
متن کاملPresurgical language lateralization assessment by fMRI and dichotic listening of pediatric patients with intractable epilepsy
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical use of a method to assess hemispheric language dominance in pediatric candidates for epilepsy surgery. The method is designed for patients but has previously been evaluated with healthy children. METHODS Nineteen patients, 8-18 years old, with intractable epilepsy and candidates for epilepsy surgery were assessed. The assessment con...

متن کاملPresurgical thalamocortical connectivity is associated with response to vagus nerve stimulation in children with intractable epilepsy
Although chronic vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an established treatment for medically-intractable childhood epilepsy, there is considerable heterogeneity in seizure response and little data are available to pre-operatively identify patients who may benefit from treatment. Since the therapeutic effect of VNS may be mediated by afferent projections to the thalamus, we tested the hypothesis tha...
متن کاملEchinoderm microtubule-associated protein -like protein 5 in anterior temporal neocortex of patients with intractable epilepsy
Objective(s):EMAP-like Protein 5 (EML5) is a new echinoderm microtubule-associated protein that is expressed in the central nervous system. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression profile of EML5 in the anterior temporal neocortex of patients presenting with intractable epilepsy (IE). Materials and Methods:Western blot assays were performed to determine EML5 expression in 36 su...
