Estimation of resection volumes in lesional epilepsy surgery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An MR-based method for measuring resection volumes in lesional epilepsy surgery is described. The volume of the preoperative lesion, the resection cavity and, as a result, the volume of the brain surrounding the lesion resected during surgery have been calculated in 13 patients.

The Determiners of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Surgery Outcome in a Developing Country
Background: Epilepsy surgery has become a successful treatment option for patients with drug-resistant epilepsies. Objectives: This study aimed to assess temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) surgery outcome and its association with epilepsy duration, the presence of pre-surgical generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS), and brain MRI findings. Materials & Methods: This retrospective study was perfo...
متن کاملIdentification of common predictors of surgical outcomes for epilepsy surgery
Although epilepsy surgery is an effective treatment for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, surgical outcomes vary across patient groups and studies. Identification of reliable prognostic factors for surgical outcome is important for outcome research. In this study, recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses on prediction of seizure outcome have been analyzed, and common predictors of seizu...
متن کاملMagnetoencephalography-guided surgery in frontal lobe epilepsy using neuronavigation and intraoperative MR imaging
BACKGROUND Especially in hidden lesions causing drug-resistant frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE), the localization of the epileptic zone EZ can be a challenge. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) can raise the chances for localization of the (EZ) in combination with electroencephalography (EEG). We investigated the impact of MEG-guided epilepsy surgery with the aid of neuronavigation and intraoperative MR i...
متن کاملResection planning in extratemporal epilepsy surgery using 3D multimodality imaging and intraoperative MRI
Surgical resection in non-lesional, extratemporal epilepsy, informed by stereoEEG recordings, is challenging. There are no clear borders of resection, and the surgeon is often operating in deep areas of the brain that are difficult to access. We present a technical note where 3D multimodality image integration in EpiNavTM is used to build a planned resection model, based on a previous intracran...
