Reoperation after failed resective epilepsy surgery
PURPOSE Resection of the seizure focus leads to sustained seizure-freedom in intractable focal epilepsy in up to 80% of selected populations. However, surgery fails to help in a considerable proportion of patients. Reevaluation and reoperation may be considered in a selected group of patients with an unfavorable postsurgical outcome. Here, we reviewed 15 case series on reoperation after failed ...
متن کاملMinimally resective epilepsy surgery in MRI-negative children.
AIM Performing epilepsy surgery on children with non-lesional brain MRI often results in large lobar or multilobar resections. The aim of this study was to determine if smaller resections result in a comparable rate of seizure freedom. METHODS We reviewed 25 children who had undergone focal corticectomies restricted to one aspect of a single lobe or the insula at our institution within a 5.5-...
متن کاملFeasibility of antiepileptic drug withdrawal following extratemporal resective epilepsy surgery.
OBJECTIVE To identify the rate of successful antiepileptic drug (AED) withdrawal after resective surgery and the predictors of postwithdrawal seizure recurrence in patients with extratemporal epilepsy. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the postoperative AED profile of 106 consecutive patients who had completed 2 or more years after resections involving frontal, parietal, and occipital lobes...
متن کاملResective surgery for intractable epilepsy in children: radiologic evaluation.
Epilepsy surgery is gaining popularity for the treatment of children with intractable seizures in whom either a focal or extensive unilateral structural brain lesion is demonstrated. We evaluated the pre- and postoperative imaging findings in 29 patients (aged 22 days to 19 years) who underwent hemispherectomies, 12 total and 17 subtotal. Pathologic correlation was obtained in all cases. Preope...
متن کاملResective surgery for hypothalamic hamartoma.

There are two epileptic syndromes, one presenting initially in infancy with gelastic seizures evolving rapidly into a syndrome with multiple seizures, developmental delay and a moderate to severe behaviour disorder. The other presents later with a milder epileptic syndrome, again usually including gelastic seizures, but ...
