Scalp melanoma is rare and often late-discovered because of its unusual position. As a consequence, its prognosis is poorer than melanoma on other body sites and only few clinical reports about its dermoscopic pattern have been published. In this paper, we report three clinical cases of scalp melanoma with photographic documentation and dermoscopic images, in order to improve the early detectio...

PURPOSE To determine the value of scalp epileptiform EEG data and subdural interictal spikes in localizing temporal epileptogenesis among patients requiring invasive recordings. For this delineation, we related such factors to site of subdural seizure origin in 27 consecutive patients. METHODS Patients with temporal lobe epilepsy whose non-invasive lateralizing data were inconclusive and ther...
