Abstract Cortical dysplastic lesions (CDyLs) are often associated with severe partial epilepsies. We describe the electrographic counterpart of this high degree of epileptogenicity, manifested by continuous or frequent rhythmic epileptogenic discharges recorded directly from CDyLs during intraoperative electrocorticography (ECoG). These ictal or continuous epileptogenic discharges (I/CEDs) assumed one of the following three patterns: (1) repetitive electrographic seizures, (2) repetitive bursting discharges, ...

Summary: Cortical dysplastic lesions (CDLs) are usually identified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Clinical, electrographic and histologic findings suggest that focal CDLs (FCDLs) are highly epileptogenic, often involve the rolandic cortex, and can present variable degrees of histopathologic abnormalities. An ictal or “ictal‐like” bursting pattern of electrographic activity was recorded over dysplastic cortex in 65% of our patients. Resective surgery can eliminate or significantly reduce seizure ...

Abstract Ongoing challenges in diagnosing focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) mandate continuous research and consensus agreement to improve disease definition and classification. An International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Task Force (TF) reviewed the FCD classification of 2011 to identify existing gaps and provide a timely update. The following methodology was applied to achieve this goal: a survey of published literature indexed with ((Focal Cortical Dysplasia) AND (epilepsy)) between 01/01/2012 and ...

In a previous proof of concept study, selective posterior callosotomy achieved similar degree of control of drop attacks as total callosotomy, while sparing prefrontal interconnectivity. The present study aims to confirm this finding in a larger cohort and to provide anatomical and prognostic data.Fifty-one patients with refractory drop attacks had selective posterior callosotomy and prospective follow up for a mean of 6.4 years. Twenty-seven patients had post-operative magnetic resonance imaging ( ...

Abstract Purpose Epileptic seizures (ES) have many mimickers, perhaps the most relevant being psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES). The picture is even more challenging when PNES are associated with ES in a given patient. The aim of this research paper was to delineate the demographic, epileptological and psychiatric profile of that specific population.

Precise anatomical knowledge of the structure of the corpus callosum is important in split-brain research and during neurosurgical procedures sectioning the callosum. According to the classic literature, commissural fibers connecting the motor cortex are situated in the anterior part of the corpus callosum. On the other hand, more recent imaging studies using diffusion tensor imaging indicate a more posterior topography of callosal fibers connecting motor areas. Topographical knowledge is especially ...

Subcortical epilepsy has been a controversial issue, partially settled by evidence showing seizure generation in hypothalamic hamartomas and also by reports of seizures caused by cerebellar lesions. We report 4-year-old girl with right hemifacial seizures and autonomic phenomena, in whom MRI showed an irregular mass in the right cerebellar peduncle. Despite several unremarkable video-EEG recordings, seizure origin in the lesion was hypothesized. Complete resection was feasible, histopathology showed ...

Cavernous cerebral malformations (CCMs) are a well-defined epilepsy-associated pathology. They represent lesions/conglomerates of abnormally configured vessels leading to seizures either as a result of physiological changes affecting the cerebral cortex immediately surrounding the CCM (an epileptogenic mechanism that is relevant for both temporal and extratemporal lesions), or as a result of promoting epileptogenicity in remote but anatomo-functionally connected brain regions (a mechanism that is particularly ...

Despite various advances in recording and localization noninvasive and invasive techniques (including electroencephalography ( EEG ), magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ), positron emission tomography ( PET ), single photon emission computed tomography ( SPECT ), magnetoencephalography ( MEG ), subdural grids, depth electrodes, and so on), the seizure outcome following surgical resection remains suboptimal in a significant ...

Summary Developmental tumors often lead to refractory partial seizures and constitute a well‐defined, surgically remediable epilepsy syndrome. Dysplastic features are often associated with these tumors, and their significance carries both practical and conceptual relevance. If associated focal cortical dysplasia ( FCD ) relates to the extent of the epileptogenic tissue, then presurgical evaluation and surgical strategies should target both the tumor and the surrounding dyslaminated cortex. Furthermore, ...

Summary: Purpose: Malformations of cortical development (MCDs) are usually highly epileptogenic, and their hyperexcitability could facilitate the occurrence of reflex seizures.

Methods: Clinical, electrographic, and neuroimaging data were reviewed in eight patients with MCDs who had reflex seizures reproduced during presurgical evaluation. Results: All eight patients had both reflex and spontaneous seizures. ...
