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 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...
متن کاملReelin Signalling Pathway and Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: A Causative Link?
Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is the most frequent form of partial epilepsy. Granule cell dispersion, resulting from aberrant neuronal migration in the hippocampus, is pathognomonic of MTLE. Reelin, a secreted neurodevelopmental glycoprotein has a crucial role in controlling the radial migration of neurons. Several animal studies have implicated Reelin in the MTLE pathogenesis. The aim o...
متن کاملPsychiatric morbidity in refractory mesial temporal lobe epilepsy before and after epilepsy surgery
Background & Objective: Psychiatric disorders constitute a large part of illness burden in patients with refractory epilepsy. A careful presurgical psychiatric assessment is now an integral part of evaluation in most centers performing surgeries for refractory epilepsy. This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of psychiatric disorders and outcome of the psychopathology in patients ...
