Endoscopic Treatment of Hypothalamic Hamartomas
Hypothalamic hamartoma (HH) is a benign indolent lesion despite the presentation of refractory epilepsy. Behavioral disturbances and endocrine problems are additional critical symptoms that arise along with HHs. Due to its nature of generating epileptiform discharge and spreading to cortical region, various management strategies have been proposed and combined. Surgical approaches with open cra...
متن کاملTranscallosal resection of hypothalamic hamartomas in patients with intractable epilepsy.
A variety of surgical treatments for intractable epilepsy with hypothalamic hamartoma (HH) are described, although most are derived from limited patient experience gathered from several centres. We describe the results of transcallosal resection of HH in 29 consecutive patients undergoing surgery at one centre. Twenty-nine patients aged 4-23 years (mean 10 years) underwent HH surgery with a min...

متن کاملOutcome of endoscopic vs microsurgical transsphenoidal resection for Cushing’s disease
INTRODUCTION It is unclear whether the proportions of remission and the recurrence rates differ between endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery (TS) and microscopic TS in Cushing's disease (CD); thus, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate studies of endoscopic TS and microscopic TS. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed to identify relevant studies. Remissi...
متن کاملEndoscopic versus microsurgical resection of third ventricle colloid cysts.
OBJECTIVE Endoscopic resection of colloid cysts has been performed as an alternative to microsurgical resection and stereotactic aspiration since 1982. To date, there are limited published studies comparing these procedures. In this study, we present the largest series of endoscopic resections published to date and compare outcomes to a cohort of microsurgical resections performed at the same i...
