Abstract BACKGROUND Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) requires high-quality angiographic studies because avascular trajectory planning is a prerequisite for the safety of this procedure. Some epilepsy surgery groups have begun to use computed tomography angiography and magnetic resonance T1-weighted sequence with contrast enhancement purpose. OBJECTIVE To present first series patients SEEG based on (MRA). METHODS Thirty-six explorations drug-resistant focal were performed from January 2013...
OBJECTIVE Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG)–guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFTC) has the advantage of producing a lesion in epileptogenic zone (EZ) at end SEEG. The majority published SEEG-guided RFTCs have been bipolar and usually performed between contiguous contacts same electrode. In present study, authors evaluate safety, efficacy, benefits monopolar RFTC METHODS This study included series 31 consecutive patients who had undergone SEEG for drug-resistant focal epilepsy...
Parkinson's disease (PD) significantly impedes, especially at its advanced stages, the health-related quality of life (QoL) patients. The questionnaire (PDQ-39) is a widely-used measure assessing impact on patients' QoL. To date, reliability PDQ-39 has not been selectively evaluated for patients particular delineated stage PD progression. Against this backdrop, study aimed firstly to evaluate comprehensively internal consistency and constituent scales specifically stages who were candidates...
Abstract Objective Mild malformation of cortical development with oligodendroglial hyperplasia and epilepsy (MOGHE) is a recently described, histopathologically molecularly defined ( SLC35A2 ‐mutated) type malformation. Although increasingly recognized, the diagnosis MOGHE remains challenge. We present characteristics first six patients diagnosed in Bulgaria, aim to facilitate identification, proper presurgical evaluation, surgical treatment approach this disease. Methods Revision...
Stereotactic electroencephalography (SEEG) is an important method for invasive presurgical exploration of candidates epilepsy surgery by means stereotactic implantation intracerebral electrodes without craniotomy. Implantations through craniotomy in drug-resistant epileptic patients have been performed Bulgaria the 1980s, but no further development followed. The aim our study to present first Bulgarian series with explored SEEG. Our included 53 Leksell frame, software avascular trajectory...
