Non-invasive treatment options for focal cortical dysplasia
Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) presents a strong clinical challenge especially for the treatment of the associated epilepsy. Epilepsy in FCD is often treatment-resistant and constitutes 50% of treatment-resistant cases. Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) have been widely used in the treatment of FCD. However, evidence to suggest their specific effect on the treatment of FCD remains to be established. I...
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 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...
متن کاملMagnetic Resonance Imaging Diagnosis of Focal Cerebellar Cortical Dysplasia
Focal cerebellar cortical dysplasia is an extremely rare disease. The diagnosis could be easily missed on routine computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images because the lesion is isodensity on CT images, and isointense to normal gray and white matter on MRI images. Focal distortion of the cerebellar gray-white matter can be found if MRI images are surveyed carefully. H...
متن کاملNew Classification of Focal Cortical Dysplasia: Application to Practical Diagnosis
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Malformation of cortical development (MCD) is a well-known cause of drug-resistant epilepsy and focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is the most common neuropathological finding in surgical specimens from drug-resistant epilepsy patients. Palmini's classification proposed in 2004 is now widely used to categorize FCD. Recently, however, Blumcke et al. recommended a new system fo...
