Abstract Purpose Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a rare disorder characterized by slowly progressive hemifacial atrophy. Although the underlying etiology unknown, proposed disease mechanisms which include autoimmune, infection, trauma, and other causes have been as mechanisms. Approximately, 10–20% of PRS patients neurologic manifestations such epilepsy, headaches, or associated vascular malformations. There are reports responsive to immunosuppressive medications, supporting autoimmune...
The neurosurgical treatment of skull base temporal encephalocele for patients with epilepsy is variable. We describe two adult cases lobe (TLE) spheno-temporal encephalocele, currently seizure-free more than years after anterior lobectomy (ATL) and lesionectomy sparing the hippocampus without long-term intracranial electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring. Encephaloceles were detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed maxillofacial head computed tomography (CT) scans. Seizures...
Cranial palsies are a very rare feature of SLE. Similarly, peripheral sensory-motor axonal neuropathy is uncommon in The combination the two as presenting symptoms SLE diagnostic challenge particularly an elderly male patient with known diagnosis sarcoidosis. This case serves to highlight considerations such patient. lack response standard therapy and presence subtle clues like anemia, proteinuria, mild serositis should prompt physician look for alternate diagnoses. potential association...
Accurate preoperative evaluation of language dominance is critical when evaluating potential patients for temporal lobe epilepsy surgery. Although most people have left-sided dominance, a minority been described with either bilateral or right hemispheric dominance. We present patient who presented and functionally independent Broca areas, as confirmed by Wada testing functional magnetic resonance imaging.
We present a rare case of low titre GAD65 antibody-associated autoimmune encephalitis and status epilepticus in young woman. She initially presented with left arm dystonic movements, contractures epilepticus. Due to the concern seizures, patient received intravenous immunoglobulin empirically. After detection serum antibodies, underwent immunomodulation therapy significant improvement. This demonstrated that encephalitis, it is important monitor antibodies levels consider immunotherapy,...
Objective: Comparison of scalp and bilateral intracranial EEG in detecting seizure onset. BACKGROUND: Intracranial (iEEG) recording is needed to define ictal onset zone (IOZ) when noninvasive studies failed delineate the epileptogenic zone. The proposed locations electrodes are based on hypotheses derived from (scEEG) neuroimaging. rate false lateralization scEEG patients with bilaterally implanted iEEG unknown. Methods: A retrospective study identified 18 medically refractory focal epilepsy...
Introduction: Mechanical ventilation is an intervention vital for many critically ill patients during their treatment course. Each mode of differs in the manner which positive pressure delivered and interaction between mechanical assistance patient’s effort. Patient-ventilator asynchrony failure ventilator to act harmony with respiratory Asynchrony leads patient discomfort, increased work breathing, inconsistent tidal volumes. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that would have effect on occurrence...
