Interictal focal activity in temporal lobe epilepsy.
The paper by Perrine et al (this issue, pp 150-4) is one in a series of recent reports of cognitive outcome after unilateral pallidotomy for patients with Parkinson's disease. 1–4 These studies have taken advantage of sophisticated and selective surgical techniques (and outcome measures) unavailable to earlier, poorly controlled, studies in the pre-levodopa era. More reliable targeting of globu...
متن کاملInterictal language functions in temporal lobe epilepsy.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate interictal language functions in patients with medically intractable left and right sided mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). METHODS Spontaneous speech, language comprehension, confrontation naming, repetition, reading, writing, and word fluency were examined in 12 patients with left sided TLE and 11 patients with right sided TLE. RESULTS Four patients out of 23 disp...

which may leave permanent neurological abnormalities. These have been documented in 898 former prisoners of war in the Far East.3 Malnutrition may be associated with several different neurological syndromes, although the exact aetiology remains to be established. Under such circumstances multiple deficiencies are common. Experimentally induced deficiency of a single dietary constituent does not...
متن کاملContralateral medial temporal lobe damage in right but not left temporal lobe epilepsy: a (1)H magnetic resonance spectroscopy study.
BACKGROUND Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) of the hippocampus is useful in lateralising the epileptic focus in temporal lobe epilepsy for subsequent surgical resection. Previous studies have reported abnormal contralateral MRS values in up to 50% of the patients. OBJECTIVE To identify the contributing factors to contralateral damage, as determined by MRS, and its extension in pat...
متن کاملLateralizing value of interictal spikes on overnight sleep-EEG studies in temporal lobe epilepsy.
PURPOSE To determine the lateralizing value of interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) recorded during overnight sleep-EEG studies in temporal lobe epilepsy. Because IEDs are more prevalent in non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep than in wakefulness, overnight sleep-EEG recordings may contribute additional lateralizing information to the epilepsy surgery evaluation beyond daytime EEGs. METHO...
