We sought to perform a systematic review and individual participant data meta‐analysis to identify predictors of treatment response following thalamic neuromodulation in pediatric patients with medically refractory epilepsy. Electronic databases (MEDLINE, Ovid, Embase, and Cochrane) were searched, with no language or data restriction, to identify studies reporting seizure outcomes in pediatric populations...
Objective
This study was undertaken to better understand the long‐term palliative and disease‐modifying effects of surgical resection beyond seizure freedom, including frequency reduction and both late recurrence and remission, in patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy.
Methods
This retrospective database‐driven cohort study included all patients with >9 years of follow‐up at a single high‐volume...
Objective
Drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) during the first few months of life is challenging and necessitates aggressive treatment, including surgery. Because the most common causes of DRE in infancy are related to extensive developmental anomalies, surgery often entails extensive tissue resections or disconnection. The literature on “ultra‐early” epilepsy surgery is sparse, with limited data concerning...
Objective
To examine longitudinal seizure and functional outcomes after hemispherectomy in adults and adolescents.
Methods
We reviewed 47 consecutive patients older than 16 years who underwent hemispherectomy between 1996 and 2016 at our center. Clinical, electroencephalographic (EEG), imaging, neuropsychological, surgical, and functional status data were analyzed.
Results
Thirty‐six patients...
Objective
We aimed to determine the rates and predictors of resection and seizure freedom after bilateral stereo‐electroencephalography (SEEG) implantation.
Methods
We reviewed 184 patients who underwent bilateral SEEG implantation (2009‐2015). Noninvasive and invasive evaluation findings were collected. Outcomes of interest included subsequent resection and seizure freedom. Statistical analyses...
Objective
We aim to develop a new scale that predicts seizure outcomes after resective epilepsy surgery.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent surgery for medically refractory epilepsy at our center between 1999 and 2012. Four predictive outcome indicators were selected: preoperative seizure frequency, history of generalized tonic–clonic seizures, brain magnetic resonance imaging...
PurposeTo examine the long‐term functional outcomes and their predictors using a patient/family centered approach in a cohort of children who had hemispherectomy. Functional outcome measures studied were the following: ambulation ability, visual symptoms, spoken language, reading skills, and behavioral problems.
MethodsWe reviewed 186 consecutive children who underwent hemispherectomy between 1997...
