The relationship of transient hemiparesis following febrile convulsions in infancy to subsequent temporal lobectomy for intractable seizures.
Nine patients with transient hemiparesis following a febrile convulsion were part of a group of 71 patients undergoing temporal lobectomy with mesial temporal sclerosis or non-specific changes in the specimen. There was no gross evidence of additional brain damage in tests before surgery and their response to surgery was as good as the 62 patients without this history.
متن کاملA cost-effectiveness analysis of anterior temporal lobectomy for intractable temporal lobe epilepsy.
Patients with medically intractable temporal lobe epilepsy are potential candidates for anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL), in which epileptogenic temporal lobe tissue is localized and surgically removed. This surgical approach can eliminate or drastically reduce seizures in the majority of patients. The authors used a decision-analysis model to examine the cost-effectiveness of a surgical evalu...
متن کاملEarly antiepileptic drug reduction following anterior temporal lobectomy for medically intractable complex partial epilepsy
PURPOSE To determine the safety, in our practice, of allowing patient preference to influence the timing of antiepileptic drug (AED) reduction, once they became seizure-free after anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL). METHODS Thirty patients underwent anterior temporal lobectomy for medically intractable complex partial epilepsy at Loma Linda University Medical Center between December 1st 1991 a...
متن کاملSeizure types and frequency in patients who "fail" temporal lobectomy for intractable epilepsy.
BACKGROUND Temporal lobectomy can lead to favorable seizure outcomes in medically-refractory temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Although most studies focus on seizure freedom after temporal lobectomy, less is known about seizure semiology in patients who "fail" surgery. Morbidity differs between seizure types that impair or spare consciousness. Among TLE patients with seizures after surgery, how doe...
متن کاملIpsilateral and contralateral thalamic hypometabolism as a predictor of outcome after temporal lobectomy for seizures.
UNLABELLED FDG PET is often used to help localize the seizure focus before surgery in patients with medically refractory temporal lobe epilepsy. However, the ability of certain patterns of metabolic landscape to predict postsurgical seizure outcome has not been well characterized. The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine whether FDG PET abnormalities elsewhere in the brain, in c...
