Accurate prediction of postoperative outcome in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy: a study using positron emission tomography with 18fluorodeoxyglucose.
BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest that positron emission tomography may be a reliable predictive indicator of clinical outcome following surgical treatment for epilepsy. OBJECTIVE We evaluated 30 patients with documented medial temporal lobe epilepsy to determine if prediction of postoperative outcome is improved with the use of positron emission tomography with (18)fluorodeoxyglucose. PATI...
متن کاملPostoperative Neuropsychological Outcome in Patients with Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy in Argentina
The aim of the present study is to compare pre- and postsurgical neuropsychological outcome in individuals suffering from mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE), in order to evaluate prognosis. The selected thirty-five patients had medically mTLE and had undergone an anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL). Neuropsychological evaluation was performed in three different stages: before ATL, 6 months afte...
متن کاملPrediction of post-surgical seizure outcome in left mesial temporal lobe epilepsy☆
Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common type of focal epilepsy and in its course often becomes refractory to anticonvulsant pharmacotherapy. A resection of the mesial temporal lobe structures is a promising option in these cases. However, approximately 30% of all patients remain with persistent seizures after surgery. In other words, reliable criteria for patients' outcome prediction a...
متن کاملImpaired mesial synchronization in temporal lobe epilepsy.
OBJECTIVE Temporal lobe epilepsy is commonly associated with synchronous, hyper-synchronous and des-synchronous activity. The aim of the present work is to explore synchronization activity in both mesial areas in temporal lobe epileptic patients during the interictal state. METHODS Using a cluster technique, we analyzed 17 temporal lobe epilepsy patients' records of foramen ovale electrodes a...
متن کاملPostoperative EEG and seizure outcome in temporal lobe epilepsy surgery.
OBJECTIVE To assess the prognostic value of scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) after epilepsy surgery, we investigated whether postoperative EEG abnormalities (interictal epileptiform discharges, IED; interictal slow activity, ISA) were associated with seizure outcome and other patient characteristics after resective surgery in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). METHODS Sixty-two patie...
