The hybrid operculo-insular electrode: a new electrode for intracranial investigation of perisylvian/insular refractory epilepsy.
BACKGROUND Precise localization of an epileptic focus in the perisylvian/insular area is a major challenge. The difficult access and the high density of blood vessels within the sylvian fissure have lead to poor coverage of intrasylvian (opercular and insular) cortex by available electrodes. OBJECTIVE To report the creation of a novel electrode designed to record epileptic activity from both ...
متن کاملSuccessful surgical resection in non-lesional operculo-insular epilepsy without intracranial monitoring.
Pre-operative assessment and surgical management of patients with non-lesional extratemporal epilepsy remain challenging due to a lack of precise localisation of the epileptic zone. In most cases, invasive recording with depth or subdural electrodes is required. Here, we describe the case of 6.5-year-old girl who underwent comprehensive non-invasive phase I video-EEG investigation for drug-resi...
متن کاملInsular Cortex and Insular Epilepsy
Insular cortex epilepsy is an under-recognized, localization-related syndrome. The presence of this condition could account for the surgery treatment failure seen in a portion of patients with temporal epilepsy, as well as a portion of those with frontal and parietal lobe epilepsy. Most cases of intractable temporal epilepsy are associated with insular cortex involvement. In this review, we wil...
متن کاملOperculo-insular pain (parasylvian pain): a distinct central pain syndrome.
Central pain with dissociated thermoalgesic sensory loss is common in spinal and brainstem syndromes but not in cortical lesions. Out of a series of 270 patients investigated because of somatosensory abnormalities, we identified five subjects presenting with central pain and pure thermoalgesic sensory loss contralateral to cortical stroke. All of the patients had involvement of the posterior in...
متن کاملAbnormal cortical thickness connectivity persists in childhood absence epilepsy
OBJECTIVE Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is a childhood-onset generalized epilepsy. Recent fMRI studies have suggested that frontal cortex activity occurs before thalamic involvement in epileptic discharges suggesting that frontal cortex may play an important role in childhood absence seizures. Neurocognitive deficits can persist after resolution of the epilepsy. We investigate whether struct...
