Focal cortical dysplasia-associated tumors: resecting beyond the lesion.
Commentary Low-grade supratentorial tumors constitute 10 to 40% of the pathological diagnoses in patients following resective surgery for refractory focal-onset epilepsy (1, 2). The most common tumor subtypes in this group include inherently indolent and intrinsically epileptogenic gangliogliomas (GG) (3) and dys-embryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNT). Temporal lobe tumors in this group exh...
متن کاملFocal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) lesion analysis with complex diffusion approach
Identification of Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) can be difficult due to the subtle MRI changes. Though sequences like FLAIR (fluid attenuated inversion recovery) can detect a large majority of these lesions, there are smaller lesions without signal changes that can easily go unnoticed by the naked eye. The aim of this study is to improve the visibility of focal cortical dysplasia lesions in th...
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 کاملSmall Lesion Size Is Associated with Sleep-Related Epilepsy in Focal Cortical Dysplasia Type II
Objective To investigate the neuroimaging and clinical features associated with sleep-related epilepsy (SRE) in patients with focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) type II. Methods Patients with histopathologically proven FCD type II were included from three epilepsy centers. SRE was defined according to the video EEG findings and seizure history. Cortical surface reconstruction and volume calculati...
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...
