Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis revealed in drug-resistant epilepsy diagnostic workup.
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a treatable disorder of bile acid production caused by mutations in the mitochondrial enzyme sterol 27-hydroxilase. This inborn error of bile acid metabolism results in lipid pathologic accumulation in multiple tissues. Progressive neuropsychiatric disturbances are a frequent manifestation of this disease. Although seizures have been frequently noticed as...
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 کاملMultimodal neuroimaging in presurgical evaluation of drug-resistant epilepsy☆
Intracranial EEG (icEEG) monitoring is critical in epilepsy surgical planning, but it has limitations. The advances of neuroimaging have made it possible to reveal epileptic abnormalities that could not be identified previously and improve the localization of the seizure focus and the vital cortex. A frequently asked question in the field is whether non-invasive neuroimaging could replace invas...
متن کاملNeurostimulation for drug-resistant epilepsy.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to provide an evidence-based update on the neurostimulation options available for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy in the United States and in European countries. RECENT FINDINGS The field of neurostimulation for epilepsy has grown dramatically since 1997, when vagus nerve stimulation became the first device to be approved for epilepsy by t...
متن کاملNeurostimulation as a Putative Method for Treatment of Drug-Resistant Epilepsy in Patient and Animal Models of Epilepsy
A patient with epilepsy was shown to have neurobiological, psychological, cognitive, and social issues as a result of recurring seizures, which is regarded to be a chronic brain disease.However, despite numerous drug treatments, approximately, 30–40% of all patients are resistant to antiepileptic drugs. Therefore, newer therapeutic modalities are introduced into clinical practice in which invol...
