Outcome of surgical treatment in non-lesional intractable childhood epilepsy
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to investigate seizure outcomes following epilepsy surgery in non-lesional neocortical pediatric epilepsy. METHODS We performed a retrospective study on 27 patients with intractable childhood epilepsy who received epilepsy surgery between 1999 and 2006 at Sang-gye Paik Hospital and Severance Children's Hospital. None of the patients had any detectable lesions ...
متن کاملSurgical treatment of intractable epilepsy associated with focal cortical dysplasia.
Focal cortical dysplasias (FCDs) are congenital malformations of cortical development that are a frequent cause of refractory epilepsy in both children and adults. With advances in structural and functional neuroimaging, these lesions are increasingly being identified as a cause of intractable epilepsy in patients undergoing surgical management for intractable epilepsy. Comprehensive histologic...
متن کاملSurgical results of anterior callosotomy on medically intractable epilepsy
We analyzed surgical results of anterior callosotomy (AC) in 27 patients with intractable symptomatic generalized epilepsy or frontal lobe epilepsy. Excellent outcome (decrease in seizure frequency of greater than 80% or no seizure) was obtained in 59.3%, and 14.8% showed good outcome(decrease in seizure frequency of greater than 50%). There was no significant difference of the results between ...
متن کاملSurgical Considerations of Intractable Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
Surgery of temporal lobe epilepsy is the best opportunity for seizure freedom in medically intractable patients. The surgical approach has evolved to recognize the paramount importance of the mesial temporal structures in the majority of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy who have a seizure origin in the mesial temporal structures. For those individuals with medically intractable mesial tempo...
