Surgical aspects using an exoscope for corpus callosotomy: initial experience for epilepsy surgery [PDF]

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2022
The exoscope is a new form of optic device that has begun to be used in the last decade. The exoscope provides high-quality magnification and illumination at depth, allowing easy manipulation of surgical instruments even in narrow surgical fields ...

The Fornix May Play a Key Role in Korsakoff’s Amnesia Secondary to Subcallosal Artery Infarction

Brain Sciences, 2021
Background: Subcallosal artery infarction injures the fornix and anterior corpus callosum and sometimes causes Korsakoff’s amnesia. We hypothesized that Korsakoff’s amnesia might be caused by fornix dysfunction rather than anterior corpus callosum ...

Earlier Age at Surgery for Brain Cavernous Angioma-Related Epilepsy May Achieve Complete Seizure Freedom without Aid of Anti-Seizure Medication

Brain Sciences, 2022
Background: The present study hypothesized that some factors may distinguish between patients with a brain cavernous angioma (BCA), who were free from anti-seizure medication (ASM), and patients who still required ASMs postoperatively. The purpose of the

Long-term outcomes of two patients with progressive myoclonic epilepsy treated with vagus nerve stimulation therapy

Heliyon, 2020
Purpose: Long-term outcomes associated with vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy for progressive myoclonic epilepsy (PME) have not been studied. The purpose of this study was to report long-term outcomes of VNS therapy in two patients with PME. Methods:

Non-Ruptured Temporal Lobe Dermoid Cyst Concomitant with Focal Cortical Dysplasia Causing Temporal Lobe Epilepsy—A Case Report and Literature Review

Brain Sciences, 2021
Background: Intracranial dermoid cyst is a rare, benign, nonneoplastic tumor-like lesion that could cause seizures, headache, and hydrocephalus. We hypothesized that the temporal lobe dermoid cyst in combination with other factors were causing the ...
