The presence of multiple or diffuse lesions on imaging is a contraindication to surgery for patients with intractable epilepsy. Theoretically, as a functional imaging technique, electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can accurately image epileptic foci. However, most current studies are limited to examining epileptic spikes and few studies use EIT for real-time imaging of seizure activity. Moreo...
This case report documents the treatment of a female patient with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy secondary generalization. At age 13, was hospitalized ~120 seizures in day, some which were life-threatening. After hospital discharge, despite regimen multiple antiseizure medications, still experienced ~90 per day. interventions described this work, over 500 neurofeedback sessions guided by EE...
The prevalence of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures is difficult to estimate. We propose an estimate based on a calculation. We used the following data, which are known or have been estimated, and are generally accepted. A prevalence of epilepsy of 0.5-1%; a proportion of intractable epilepsy of 20-30%; a percentage of these referred to epilepsy centers of 20-50%; and a percentage of patients ...

Case History The subject is a 26-year-old female with no past medical history, who was admitted for seizures and concurrent febrile illness. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain was unremarkable, and cerebrospinal fluid cultures were negative. She was treated for presumed viral encephalitis, which was complicated by status epilepticus. She was placed under phenobarbitone-induced coma...
BACKGROUND Magnetoencephalography (MEG), a noninvasive technique for evaluation of epileptic patients, records magnetic fields during neuronal electrical activity within the brain. Anaesthesia experience for MEG has not yet been reported. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed records of 48 paediatric patients undergoing MEG under anaesthesia. Thirty-one patients (nonprotocol group) were managed...
Background therapy. The present study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and side effects of topiramate as an add-on therapy in drug-resistant ( intractable) epilepsies . Materials and methods hospital with refractory epilepsy were enrolled. The study population included 14 girls and 28 boys, aged 1-15 years. Seizure attacks were not controlled despite receiving 4-13 drugs (mean 9). Topira...
Detailed neurologic studies, high-field-strength MR imaging, and CT scanning were performed preoperatively in 53 patients with intractable complex partial seizures who underwent surgical treatment for epilepsy. Macroscopic structural (tumoral or vascular) lesions were found in 28% of patients. The remainder had pathologic findings consistent with mesial temporal gliosis. Tumors were found in 22...
The value of adding a second antiepileptic drug in intractable epilepsy with complex-partial seizures was studied in a long-term prospective trial in 30 adult patients who failed to respond to the maximum use of carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital or primidone as the first drug. Based on the individual previous history of one-drug treatment, the most promising antiepileptic drug (carbamazep...
A 33-year-old woman had begun having intractable somatosensory seizures affecting the left hand since the age of 13 years. Occasionally, her seizures progressed to left arm posturing followed by secondary generalization. Scalp EEG revealed interictal epileptiform discharges in the right posterior quadrant, but with no ictal EEG correlates. Brain MRI showed a right temporal encephalomalacia, spa...
