Surgical anatomy of the temporal lobe.

چکیده
The complex functional and anatomic relationships between the structures in and around the temporal lobe are central to the problem of intractable partial complex seizures. Resecting those areas that are responsible for seizures and protecting those that are essential for the normal functioning of the patient are the fundamental tasks of the epilepsy surgeon. A thorough understanding of the structural and functional anatomy of this region is essential to achieve these goals.

متن کاملThe effect of silymarin on prevention of hippocampus neuronal damage in rats with temporal lob epilepsy
Background and Objective: Temporal lobe epilepsy is hallmarked with neuronal degeneration in some areas of hippocampus and mossy fiber sprouting in dentate area. Considering some evidences on neuroprotective and antioxidant activity of silymarin (SM), this study was undertaken to evaluate the preventive effect of this agent on structural changes in hippocampus of kainate-epileptic rats. Materia...
متن کاملReelin Signalling Pathway and Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: A Causative Link?
Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is the most frequent form of partial epilepsy. Granule cell dispersion, resulting from aberrant neuronal migration in the hippocampus, is pathognomonic of MTLE. Reelin, a secreted neurodevelopmental glycoprotein has a crucial role in controlling the radial migration of neurons. Several animal studies have implicated Reelin in the MTLE pathogenesis. The aim o...

Abstract Introduction: Arachnoid cysts are developmental cystic lesions which may be found as an incidental finding on neuroimaging or present with symptoms of headache, seizure and neurologic deficit. Presentation with seizure is more common with larger sizes and temporal location. Presentation with TLE is rare, and fenestration of cysts had variable results for seizure control. Here in, we r...
