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 کاملEarly and delayed MR and PET changes after selective temporomesial radiosurgery in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.
We report a patient with medically refractory mesial temporal lobe epilepsy treated by gamma knife radiosurgery. In lieu of a microsurgical procedure, an entorhinoamygdalohippocampectomy was performed with a gamma knife and low marginal doses (25 Gy). The clinical and imaging studies, including CT, MR imaging, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), and long-term follow-u...
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...
متن کاملLow-dose stereotactic radiosurgery is inadequate for medically intractable mesial temporal lobe epilepsy: a case report
The successful surgical treatment of medically refractory epilepsy is based on one of three different principles: (1) elimination of the epileptic focus, (2) interruption of the pathways of neural propagation, and (3) increasing the seizure threshold through cerebral lesions or electrical stimulation. Temporal lobe epilepsy, being the most common focal epilepsy, may ultimately require temporal ...
