Vagus nerve stimulator in patients with epilepsy: indications and recommendations for use.
Epilepsy comprises a set of neurologic and systemic disorders characterized by recurrent spontaneous seizures, and is the most frequent chronic neurologic disorder. In patients with medically refractory epilepsy, therapeutic options are limited to ablative brain surgery, trials of experimental antiepileptic drugs, or palliative surgery. Vagal nerve stimulation is an available palliative procedu...
متن کاملMRI of the brain is safe in patients implanted with the vagus nerve stimulator
Metallic devices generally represent a contra-indication for MRI scanning. Based on laboratory testing, the neuro cybernetic prosthesis (NCP) is labelled MRI compatible when used with a send and receive head coil. However, there are no published clinical data to support the safety of brain MRI in patients with the NCP. Our objective was to report clinical experience with such a population. We q...
متن کاملOperative and technical complications of vagus nerve stimulator implantation.
BACKGROUND The treatment of refractory epilepsy by vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a well-established therapy option for patients not suitable for epilepsy surgery and therapy refractory depressions. OBJECTIVE To analyze surgical and technical complications after implantation of left-sided VNS in patients with therapy-refractory epilepsy and depression. METHODS One hundred five patients re...
متن کامل3T MRI of patients with a vagus nerve stimulator: Initial experience under controlled conditions
Introduction: 1.5T brain MRI of patients who have an implanted vagal nerve stimulator (VNS) is generally recognized as a safe procedure, provided that a transmit/receive (T/R) head coil is used and all of the recommended limits (in particular, SAR) are followed. For some applications, however, such as high-resolution brain imaging for pre-surgical planning in patients with epilepsy, the use of ...
متن کاملLocalization of Interictal Epileptiform Activity Using Magnetoencephalography with Synthetic Aperture Magnetometry in Patients with a Vagus Nerve Stimulator
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) provides useful and non-redundant information in the evaluation of patients with epilepsy, and in particular, during the pre-surgical evaluation of pharmaco-resistant epilepsy. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a common treatment for pharmaco-resistant epilepsy. However, interpretation of MEG recordings from patients with a VNS is challenging due to the severe magnet...
