Reflex seizures and epilepsy surgery: A network approach case‐based exploration

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Context Reflex seizures (RS) are defined by their consistent provocation by specific stimuli, encompassing a broad range from elementary sensory inputs to complex cognitive tasks. While RS are often encountered in clinical practice, their surgical management remains sparsely reported and poorly systematized.

Postoperative outcomes and predictors of functional sequelae following hemispheric surgery in Rasmussen's encephalitis: A retrospective cohort study from the global pediatric epilepsy surgery registry

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Rasmussen's encephalitis (RE) is a rare and progressive, immune‐mediated epileptic encephalopathy characterized by drug‐resistant seizures and neurological decline. While hemispheric disconnection (HD) is the gold standard treatment for effective seizure control, this procedure carries significant risk of permanent neurological ...

Hemispherotomy and Functional Hemispherectomy: Indications and Outcomes [PDF]

Journal of Epilepsy Research, 2018
Hemispherectomy constitutes an established surgical method in the management of patients with medically intractable epilepsy secondary to severe unilateral hemisphere damage. As opposed to focal resections, in hemispherotomies, the entire hemisphere is disconnected from the remaining nervous system, including the functional regions and fibers.

Perils and progress in epilepsy surgery utilization: Twenty‐five years later

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract More than 25 years have passed since the first randomized controlled trial (RCT) established that surgery is superior to continued anti‐seizure medication (ASM) for drug‐resistant temporal lobe epilepsy, and nearly as long since a joint practice parameter urged that appropriate surgical candidates be referred to a specialized center for ...

Reasons for not reoperating and outcomes of reoperation after seizure recurrence in pediatric epilepsy surgery: A population‐based study

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy surgery is an established and effective treatment for children with drug‐resistant epilepsy. Although the majority of patients become seizure‐free postoperatively, 20%–40% experience seizure recurrence. Although repeat surgery can achieve seizure freedom in selected cases, the reasons children with seizure recurrence do not ...
