objective in the majority of patients with intractable epilepsy, seizures can be well controlled with appropriate medication. however, current estimates indicate that some of patients with epilepsy are refractory to all forms of medical therapy. the surgical treatment of intractable epilepsy in children has  evolved with advances in technical innovations. these medically intractable patients ar...

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...

Dysembryoplastic Neuroepithelial Tumour (DNET) is a rare brain tumour commonly involving the temporal lobe and presenting with intractable seizures. However, neuroregression as feature of DNET uncommon. We report case 12-year-old boy arising from parietal seizures & neuroregression. The child was subjected to neurosurgical resection lesion following which he made full recovery. A review aft...

Introduction: about 20% to 30% of patients with epilepsy are diagnosed with drug-resistant epilepsy and one third of these are candidates for epilepsy surgery. Surgical resection of the epileptogenic tissue is a well-established method for treating patients with intractable focal epilepsy. Determining language laterality and locality is an important part of a comprehensive epilepsy program befo...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Surgery is an alternative treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy. Positive attitude of medical personnel towards epilepsy surgery is essential. This study assessed general knowledge of and attitude towards epilepsy surgery among medical students. The aim of this study was to assess general knowledge of and attitude towards epilepsy surgery among medical students. METHODS ...

Purpose Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) implantation is increasingly proposed in outpatient procedure. Some epilepsy syndromes are associated with severe neurodevelopmental disabilities (intellectual disability, autism) and often motor or sensory handicaps, making ambulatory surgery more complex. Methods We prospectively assessed the feasibility safety of VNS 26 adult patients drug-resistant inte...
