Epilepsy surgery in indicated cases has a success range from 50 to 86% in achieving seizure freedom as compared with <5% success rate with AEDs only in persons with DRE. Centers performing surgery should be categorized into Level I and Level II.Chandra...
There is still some reluctance to refer pediatric patients for epilepsy surgery, despite evidence of success in retrospective series.To describe surgical experience and long-term outcome in pediatric temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) at a single institution.Retrospective review of pediatric (<18-years-old)...
on EEG and imaging, the success rate falls to about 50% (still considered favorable). Complications are few and insignificant compared to the improved quality of life as a result of seizure reduction.52However, surgery is not the only procedure that can provide significant relief for epileptics....
"Surgery success depends on locating these areas as precisely as possible. But inclinical practicethis often proves very difficult, and the average surgery success rate remains at only around 60%", says Viktor Jirsa. Any improvement would have major impact for many patients". The scientist has ...
Epilepsy surgery has emerged as a crucial option for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, offering the potential for seizure freedom and improved quality of life. This session will highlight the latest innovations in surgical techniques, including advancements in image-guided surgery, minimally invasive...
Although surgery for intractable epilepsy has been increasingly successful, we still need to refine our techniques to further improve the success rate and to reduce complications of surgery such as language and memory impairment. 展开 关键词: Temporal lobe epilepsy Extratemporal lobe epilepsy Corpus ...
MR is the imaging technique of choice when examining a patient who is having seizures. Detection, localization, and differentiation of structural epileptogenic abnormalities are much better with MR imaging than with CT. MR imaging has a high success rate in identifying hippocampal sclerosis, a common...
Epilepsy surgery involves removal or surgical alteration of the part of the brain from which epileptic seizures originate. Success depends on the condition, procedure and severity of the epileptic condition; epilepsy covers many different seizure disorders. Is CADASIL a Terminal Illness? Cerebral ...

Modelling the interactions that arise from neural dynamics in seizure genesis is challenging but important in the effort to improve the success of epilepsy surgery. Dynamical network models developed from physiological evidence offer insights into rapidl
