The relationship of transient hemiparesis following febrile convulsions in infancy to subsequent temporal lobectomy for intractable seizures.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nine patients with transient hemiparesis following a febrile convulsion were part of a group of 71 patients undergoing temporal lobectomy with mesial temporal sclerosis or non-specific changes in the specimen. There was no gross evidence of additional brain damage in tests before surgery and their response to surgery was as good as the 62 patients without this history.

Characteristics and treatment of temporal lobe epilepsy with a history of complicated febrile convulsion.
This study aimed to examine the close correlation between complicated febrile convulsions (CFC) and medial temporal lobe epilepsy and to delineate characteristics of temporal lobe epilepsy with CFC. Patients with temporal lobe epilepsy were divided into those with a prior episode of CFC (n=52), those with febrile convulsions other than CFC, and those without either (n=345). Clinical constellati...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the use of whole brain voxel based morphometry (VBM) and stereological analysis to study brain morphology in patients with medically intractable temporal lobe epilepsy; and to determine the relation between side, duration, and age of onset of temporal lobe epilepsy, history of childhood febrile convulsions, and grey matter structure. METHODS Three dimensional magneti...
متن کامل[Mesial temporal sclerosis syndrome in adult patients].
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an essential tool in the work-up of epilepsy. Since its appearance it has been possible to identify pathologies, such as hippocampal sclerosis (HS), that had previously only been detected by histopathological assays. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical manifestations, EEG and the outcome of patients with HS as shown by MRI. We revised th...

Abstract Backgraound: Febrile seizure is the most common pediatric neurologic problem. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency and related risk factors for subsequent afebrile seizures after the first febrile seizure in children. Methods: In a longitudinal study , all children aged 6 months to 6years with first febrile seizure admitted between March 2004 to August 2005 t...
