Cognition in adults with bottom‐of‐sulcus dysplasia and the consequences of focal resection

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To determine whether there are cognitive consequences of bottom‐of‐sulcus dysplasia (BOSD) when assessed as adults and whether focal resection of these lesions leads to change in cognition. Methods We studied 42 adults, of whom 39 underwent focal resection targeting the lesion.

Voxel‐based and surface‐based cortical morphometric MRI applications for identifying the epileptogenic zone: A narrative review

Epilepsia Open
Approximately 40% of patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy referred for surgical evaluation have no epileptogenic lesion on MRI (MRI‐negative). MRI‐negative epilepsy is associated with poorer seizure freedom prognosis and has therefore motivated the ...

One-Stage High-Density Focal Stereo-Array SEEG-Guided Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation for the Treatment of Pediatric Giant Hypothalamic Hamartomas

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Background: Giant hypothalamic hamartomas (HHs) are extremely rare lesions, for which the treatment is challenging. While minimally invasive treatments such as radiofrequency thermal coagulation and laser ablation have improved seizure outcomes, multiple

Loss of consciousness is related to hyper-1 correlated gamma-band activity in anesthetized macaques and sleeping humans [PDF]

, 2017
Loss of consciousness can result from a wide range of causes, including natural sleep and pharmacologically induced anesthesia. Important insights might thus come from identifying neuronal mechanisms of loss and re-emergence of consciousness independent ...

Deep characterization of refractory epilepsy due to mild malformation of cortical development with oligodendroglial hyperplasia (MOGHE) and insights into the role of invasive monitoring

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy surgery is an effective treatment option for patients with medically refractory epilepsy due to mild malformation of cortical development with oligodendroglial hyperplasia (MOGHE). The success of surgery depends on the accurate localization of the epileptogenic zone, which can be challenging due to the subtle imaging ...

Review of robotic technology for keyhole transcranial stereotactic neurosurgery [PDF]

, 2015
The research of stereotactic apparatus to guide surgical devices began in 1908, yet a major part of today's stereotactic neurosurgeries still rely on stereotactic frames developed almost half a century ago.

Amygdala enlargement associated with remote epileptogenic lesions

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To determine the prevalence and possible causes of amygdala enlargement in patients with drug‐resistant temporal lobe epilepsy. Methods Patients were retrospectively identified via a radiology information system and a large language model.
