Markers of cellular proliferation are expressed in cortical tubers.
p34cdc2, collapsin response mediator protein 4 (CRMP4), doublecortin (DCX), HuD, and NeuN expression was assessed in tuber (n = 16) and subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA; n = 6) specimens in tuberous sclerosis complex to define the developmental phenotype and lineage of giant cells (CGs) in these lesions. Many GCs exhibited HuD and NeuN immunolabeling suggesting a differentiated neural ...
متن کاملSolitary cortical tubers.
We report two cases of solitary cortical tubers not associated with tuberous sclerosis and having an appearance simulating neoplasm in two patients presenting with seizures. CT showed solitary, hyperdense frontal lobe lesions in both patients. MR revealed a lesion hyperintense on both T1- and T2-weighted images in one patient and a heterogeneous mass with a target appearance in the other. Histo...
متن کاملCortical ependymoma: an unusual epileptogenic lesion.
OBJECT Supratentorial cortical ependymomas (CE) are rare, with 7 cases reported. The lesions, typically occurring in the superficial cortex in young adults and associated with a history of seizures, are not fully characterized. Furthermore, their relationship with the recently described angiocentric glioma (AG) is still being debated. This study was undertaken to summarize the authors' experien...
متن کاملPeripheral sounds rapidly activate visual cortex: evidence from electrocorticography.
Neurophysiological studies with animals suggest that sounds modulate activity in primary visual cortex in the presence of concurrent visual stimulation. Noninvasive neuroimaging studies in humans have similarly shown that sounds modulate activity in visual areas even in the absence of visual stimuli or visual task demands. However, the spatial and temporal limitations of these noninvasive metho...
متن کاملHow epileptogenic are temporal encephaloceles?
Encephaloceles are spontaneous or acquired abnormal herniations of the brain into congenital or acquired osseous-dural defects of the skull base or cranial vault. When located in the middle fossa, they may present with medically intractable epilepsy, recurrent meningitis, CSF fistulas, middle ear fluid, or unilateral hearing loss. Bony deficits may involve either the body or the greater wing of...
