Compatibility of MRI and FDG-PET findings with histopathological results in patients with focal cortical dysplasia
PURPOSE The present study aimed to determine if the specific characteristics of fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) analyses of the FCD subgroups were compatible with the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical findings of the patients in these subgroups. METHODS This study included 71 patients who had a presurgical evaluation workup performed due to drug-resistant...
متن کاملAutomatic Delineation of Focal Cortical Dysplasia Lesions on MRI
Rationale: MRI has allowed the recognition of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) in an increasing number of patients. The precise delineation of FCD is important since freedom from seizures after surgery is closely related to the extent of resection of the pathological tissue. FCD lesions are difficult to delineate on MRI due to their ill-defined boundaries and the complexity of the cortex. We prev...
متن کاملTowards in vivo focal cortical dysplasia phenotyping using quantitative MRI
Focal cortical dysplasias (FCDs) are a range of malformations of cortical development each with specific histopathological features. Conventional radiological assessment of standard structural MRI is useful for the localization of lesions but is unable to accurately predict the histopathological features. Quantitative MRI offers the possibility to probe tissue biophysical properties in vivo and...
متن کاملFocal cortical dysplasia – review
Focal cortical dysplasia is a malformation of cortical development, which is the most common cause of medically refractory epilepsy in the pediatric population and the second/third most common etiology of medically intractable seizures in adults.Both genetic and acquired factors are involved in the pathogenesis of cortical dysplasia. Numerous classifications of the complex structural abnormalit...
متن کاملFocal Cortical Dysplasia.
Focal cortical dysplasias are common malformations of cerebral cortical development and are highly associated with medically intractable epilepsy. They have been classified into neuropathological subtypes (type Ia, Ib, IIa, IIb, and III) based on the severity of cytoarchitectural disruption--tangential or radial dispersion, or loss of laminar structure--and the presence of unique cells types su...
