Objective
Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG)‐guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is increasingly being used as a treatment for drug‐resistant localization‐related epilepsy. The aim of this study is to analyze the successes and failures using RFA and how response correlates with surgical epilepsy treatment outcomes.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed 62 patients who underwent RFA via SEEG electrodes...
Objective
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)–guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRg‐LITT) is an alternative to open epilepsy surgery. We assess safety and effectiveness of MRg‐LITT for extratemporal lobe epilepsy (ETLE) in patients who are considered less favorable for open resection.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed sequential cases of patients with focal ETLE who underwent MRg‐LITT between...
Objective
Magnetic resonance (MR) thermography–guided laser interstitial thermal therapy, or stereotactic laser ablation (SLA), is a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery for focal epilepsy caused by cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs). We examined the safety and effectiveness of SLA of epileptogenic CCMs.
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed 19 consecutive patients who presented with...
ObjectivesPatients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) experience significant deficits in category‐related object recognition and naming following standard surgical approaches. These deficits may result from a decoupling of core processing modules (e.g., language, visual processing, and semantic memory), due to “collateral damage” to temporal regions outside the hippocampus following open surgical approaches...
