Lesion guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (L-RFTC) for hypothalamic hamartomas, nodular heterotopias and cortical dysplasias: Review and perspective
Lesion guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (L-RFTC) via stereotactically inserted coagulation probes is a further development of stereotactic thermocoagulation thalamotomy and stereo-EEG guided RFTC. In this method epileptogenic lesions detected via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) move to the center of coagulation planning. Two surgical strategies can be applied: lesion disconnection and l...
متن کاملFocal cortical resection in malformations of cortical development.
Malformations of cortical development may be associated with drug-resistant partial epilepsy suitable for surgical therapy. From the anatomopathological point of view, this categorisation has been used in reference to a wide range of alterations of the cortical mantle. Focal cortical dysplasias represent the main group of malformations of cortical development, but there are also other types of ...
متن کاملFocal cortical dysplasia: neuropathological subtypes, EEG, neuroimaging and surgical outcome.
Since the original description by Taylor, the term focal cortical dysplasia has been used to refer to a wide range of alterations of the cortical mantle. More recently, these conditions have been described from neuroimaging, neuropathological and genetic standpoints, generating several classifications. It is widely recognized that these classifications are unsatisfactory. We propose a simplifie...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-negative epilepsy may be successfully solved with a multidisciplinary approach using invasive recordings, image and signal analysis. The whole methodology used by the epilepsy surgery team is systematically described based on an resistant epilepsy case with all steps and rationale of choosing different investigation methods from surface electroencephalography (E...
متن کاملSurgery for drug resistant partial epilepsy in children with focal cortical dysplasia: anatomical-clinical correlations and neurophysiological data in 10 patients.
OBJECTIVE To analyse a population of children with focal cortical dysplasia operated on for drug resistant partial epilepsy, with emphasis on clinical features, seizure semiology, interictal and ictal EEG and stereo EEG findings, histological and topographical characteristics of the lesions, extension and localisation of cerebral excision, and its postoperative effect on seizure frequency.
