Bilateral Symmetry and Variation of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve and Inferior Thyroid Artery Patterns: An Intraoperative Study of 150 Nerves

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The anatomical relationship of the inferior thyroid artery (ITA) and the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is highly variable. This study aims to evaluate bilateral RLN branching patterns and their relationship to the ITA within the same patient, predicting contralateral anatomical variations and ultimately reducing intraoperative risk of RLN ...

A guide to neuromodulation in drug‐resistant epilepsy

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuromodulation is approved for the treatment of drug‐resistant epilepsy. It has been increasingly utilized over the past two decades with the approval of deep brain stimulation (DBS) and responsive neurostimulation (RNS) in addition to vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)—particularly in patients who are not deemed to be good resective surgical ...

Ictal semiology in fronto‐opercular epilepsy: A systematic review

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract A systematic review of the ictal semiology of fronto‐opercular seizures in focal epilepsy was carried out to assess possible anatomical‐clinical correlations and help guide interpretation of ictal semiology during pre‐surgical evaluation. PubMed and Embase databases were searched using the following keywords: “fronto‐opercular OR frontal ...
