Surgical 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 کاملOutcome 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.

متن کاملSurgical Treatment of Intractable Epilepsy Associated with Focal Cortical Dysplasia
Focal cortical dysplasias (FCDs), initially thought to be rare, are a common cause of drugrefractory epilepsy in both children and adults. Successful resection and subsequent characterization of FCDs was first described by Taylor et al. in 1971 from pathological specimens obtained in patients treated for intractable temporal lobe epilepsy (Tassi, et al.,2001; Becker, et al.,2002; Tassi, et al.,...
متن کاملDietary treatment of intractable epilepsy.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Dietary therapies for seizure management date back further than pharmacologic interventions, but many neurologists are not familiar with these treatment options. This introduction to dietary therapies will discuss administration of ketogenic diets, comparisons between diet types, evidence-based efficacy of diet therapies in epilepsy treatment, and management of side effects. T...
