Anaesthesia, surgery and postoperative treatment were standardized and not influenced by the presented observation. After surgery, all patients arrived at the ICU, and EEG monitoring started within the first hour. EEG recording was continuously performed for up to 24h, and the results were ...
Developed by Bin He UM McKnight professor and Director of Centre for Neuroengineering, the technique has attained preliminary successes in noninvasive imaging of seizure foci, which promises to play an important role in the treatment of epileptic seizures. Brain-scanning process may pave way for new...
The long-term prognosis for recurrence in TSC patients rendered seizure-free by surgery is incompletely known. While other tubers could potentially activate in later life, similar risks may be attributed to surgery for other malformations of cortical development. Alternati...
we utilized the PTZ-induced seizure model41. PTZ-induced status epilepticus is highly lethal if seizure activity is not promptly inhibited42,43. We recorded PTZ-evoked seizures and analyzed the survival rate. As expected, mice expressing the control virus that underwent bilateral transcranial illumina...
A summary of the seizure outcome from these series and radiosurgery are presented in table 1. Table 1. Results of surgery and gamma knife therapy in the treatment of epilepsy due to hypothalamic hamartoma Series No 1A3A + (improved)3B – (not improved)Complications Rosenfeld (17) 28 (21)...
surgery, predominantly temporal lobectomy, based on electrophysiological evidence alone. With the advent of modern non-invasive structural and functional imaging techniques, and the improved microsurgical techniques, the surgical treatment of epilepsies has multiplied worldwide, but still remains underutilized...
Whether closed-loop seizure-prediction and treatment devices will have the profound clinical effect of their cardiological predecessors will depend on our ability to perfect these techniques. Their clinical efficacy must be validated in large-scale, prospective, controlled trials. 展开 ...
surgery, (4) the likelihood of electrodes being placed in or very close to the region generating the earliest precursors of seizures is high in these cases, and (5) electrical seizure onsets are usually well localized on intracranial EEG in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy, have high signal to ...
theseizuretaken with a mobile phone is often helpful. Eyes are closed in nonepileptic psychogenic seizures, whereas syncope is frequently characterized by an upward gaze. Unless and until anepilepticseizure is firmly diagnosed and classified, the diagnosis of epilepsy and treatment should be deferred,...
(12%). Although nearly half of the group with epilepsy had not had a seizure during the past year, their mean scores on the Short Form-36 scales for role limitations, emotional well-being, and social well-being were significantly worse than those measured...
