Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
Many patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy continue to have seizures despite medical therapy. For these patients, one recourse is surgical resection of the mesial temporal lobe, with its attendant risks. Noninvasive treatment with Gamma Knife radiosurgery is under active investigation as a possible alternative to open surgery. Accumulated evidence from multiple studies shows radiosurgery ...
متن کاملLong-term efficacy of gamma knife radiosurgery in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.
BACKGROUND Gamma knife (GK) radiosurgery has been proposed as an alternative to classic microsurgery in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE). Short-term follow-up studies have reported encouraging results, but long-term efficacy is not known. OBJECTIVE To report the efficacy and tolerance of GK radiosurgery in MTLE after a follow-up > 5 years. METHODS Patients with a follow-up > 5 years pre...
متن کاملFractionated Stereotactic Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Medial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: A Case Report
An 18-year-old left-handed male harbored intractable medial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) underwent fractionated gamma knife surgery (GKS) instead of open surgery, considering the mental retardation and diffuse cerebral dysfunction. GKS treatment parameters were: target volume, 8.8 cm(3); total marginal dose, 24 Gy in 3 fractionations at the 50% isodose line. The patient has been free from seiz...
متن کاملRadiosurgery for Medial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Resulting from Mesial Temporal Sclerosis.
Medial temporal lobe epilepsy associated with mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) is perhaps the most well-defined epilepsy syndrome that is responsive to structural interventions such as surgery. Several minimally invasive techniques have arisen that provide additional options for the treatment of MTS while potentially avoiding many of open surgery's associated risks. By evading these risks, they ...
متن کاملImpaired mesial synchronization in temporal lobe epilepsy.
OBJECTIVE Temporal lobe epilepsy is commonly associated with synchronous, hyper-synchronous and des-synchronous activity. The aim of the present work is to explore synchronization activity in both mesial areas in temporal lobe epileptic patients during the interictal state. METHODS Using a cluster technique, we analyzed 17 temporal lobe epilepsy patients' records of foramen ovale electrodes a...
