متن کاملSurgery of intractable temporal lobe epilepsy presented with structural lesions.
BACKGROUND Structural lesions are found in about 30% of surgical specimens resected for intractable temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Detailed presurgical evaluations can identify the epileptogenic foci, the structural lesions and their correlation. Different surgical approaches have variable seizure control outcomes. METHODS The preoperative investigations for the intractable TLE consisted of se...
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...

However, concern about endocrine complications and the paucity of published endocrine data may dissuade clinicians from recommending HH surgery. We report the preoperative endocrine status and postoperative endocrine findings of patients undergoing ...
