Early antiepileptic drug reduction following anterior temporal lobectomy for medically intractable complex partial epilepsy.

, 2004
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).

Stability of the Epileptogenic Index across seizures and the effects of sleep and withdrawal of anti‐seizure medications

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epileptogenic Index (EI) is a promising index to evaluate the epileptogenicity of the brain tissue and is useful in planning epilepsy surgery. We aimed to evaluate whether EI maps are consistent across seizures within patients and whether EI‐derived measures are affected by the vigilance state and anti‐seizure medication (ASM) dose ...

Prepare, don't scare: Rethinking cognitive readiness before epilepsy surgery

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy surgery is an effective but underutilized treatment for drug‐resistant epilepsy, and concerns about postsurgical cognitive change are a prominent barrier. Refinements in surgical technique can reduce cognitive impact, but cognitive change cannot always be avoided, and approaches carrying lower cognitive risk are often less effective ...

Temporal lobe epilepsy with mesial temporal sclerosis: hippocampal neuronal loss as a predictor of surgical outcome

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2012
OBJECTIVE: To analyze retrospectively a series of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS), and the association of patterns of hippocampal sclerosis with clinical data and surgical prognosis.

Distinct types of white matter changes are observed after anterior temporal lobectomy in epilepsy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) is commonly adopted to control medically intractable temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Depending on the side of resection, the degree to which Wallerian degeneration and adaptive plasticity occur after ATL has important ...

Clinical efficacy and cost‐effectiveness of epilepsy surgery in low‐ and middle‐income countries: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To synthesize evidence on clinical outcomes, direct surgical costs, and cost‐effectiveness of resective epilepsy surgery for drug‐resistant epilepsy in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Methods MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library were searched through May 17, 2026.

Surgery After Thermal Ablation of Thyroid Nodules: A Systematic Review of Surgical Risk, Strategy and Pathological Findings

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Thermal ablation is increasingly used for selected thyroid nodules, but some patients subsequently require thyroidectomy. The effect of prior ablation on surgical risk, operative strategy, and histopathology remains unclear. Methods PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to May 2026 for studies

Old disease, new twist

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract An 81‐year‐old man with a history of high‐grade urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and ureter on treatment with atezolizumab and tiragolumab presented to the emergency department with 5 months of malaise, generalized weakness, and fatigue and 2 weeks of subjective fevers. One month prior to presentation, he received an empiric 9‐day course of

Functional Integrity of Resting-state Networks predicts Seizure Outcome after Anterior Temporal Lobectomy [PDF]

, 2015
Rationale Predicting seizure outcome (SO) after anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) is a major clinical goal. With clear evidence that even focal epilepsies disrupt large scale brain networks, resting-state functional connectivity (FC) methods have been ...

Indication for Anterior Temporal Lobectomy in Patients with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and Psychopathology [PDF]

Epilepsia, 2000
Summary: The chronicity and severity of epilepsy, as well as the presence of temporal lobe foci, appear to correlate with psychopathology. A high prevalence of psychopathology has been reported among patients who are candidates for anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL).
