OBJECTIVE Temporal lobectomy is a well-established neurosurgical procedure for temporal lobe epilepsy. In this study, we conducted retrospective review of children with drug-resistant epilepsy to evaluate seizure outcome after surgery. METHODS We reviewed the medical records 126 who had surgery at The Hospital Sick Children between 1983 and 2003. were examined preoperative intraoperative factors that could predict patient RESULTS mean age onset was 5.9 years. duration before 5.6 All patients...
Object The authors undertook this study to review their experience with cortical resections in the rolandic region children intractable epilepsy. Methods retrospectively reviewed medical records obtained 22 epilepsy arising from region. All patients underwent preoperative electroencephalography (EEG), MR imaging, prolonged video-EEG recordings, functional magnetoencephalography, and some instances PET/SPECT studies. In 21 invasive subdural grid depth electrode monitoring was performed....
Prenatal myelomeningocele (MMC) repair has significant advantages over postnatal repair, as was demonstrated by the Management of Myelomeningocele Study (MOMS) in 20111. This multicenter randomized controlled trial that prenatal compared with significantly reduced rate ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement first 12 months life and improved motor function, evidenced a higher proportion ambulatory infants at 30 months1. In MOMS, access to fetal spinal defect via laparotomy uterine...
Summary Objective Drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) during the first few months of life is challenging and necessitates aggressive treatment, including surgery. Because most common causes DRE in infancy are related to extensive developmental anomalies, surgery often entails tissue resections or disconnection. The literature on “ultra‐early” sparse, with limited data concerning efficacy controlling seizures, safety. current study's goal review safety ultra‐early performed before age 3 months....
The combination of ependymoma and gliosarcoma elements in the same tumor is extremely rare, molecular characteristics these entities are not clear. Here, we present a rare aggressive brain 12-year-old boy harboring ZFTA::RELA gene fusion, characteristic feature supratentorial ependymomas. On other hand, histopathological, molecular, methylation profiles were compatible with diagnosis mesenchymal type, IDH wild-type glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Additional somatic alterations provide...
OBJECTIVE Posttraumatic epilepsy (PTE) is a known complication of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The true incidence PTE in children still uncertain, because most research has been based primarily on adults. This study aimed to determine the pediatric population with mild TBI (MTBI) and identify risk factors for development epileptic events. METHODS Data were collected from electronic medical records 0-17 years age, who admitted single center between 2007 2009 diagnosis MTBI. prospective...
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to confirm the efficacy spatially filtered magnetoencephalography for preoperative localization primary motor cortex in pediatric patients with focal lesions region sensorimotor cortex. METHODS We recorded movement-related magnetoencephalographic activity 10 (age range, 7–18 years; mean age, 12.5 years) undergoing presurgical evaluation brain lesion resection. Participants made transient movements right and left index finger response a visual cue....
Previous findings have been mixed regarding verbal memory outcome after left temporal lobectomy in children, and there are few studies comparing change lateral versus mesial lobe resections. We compared associated with sparing or including the structures children who underwent right resection. also investigated predictors of postsurgical change.We retrospectively assessed approximately 1 year unilateral epilepsy surgery using a list learning task. Participants included 23 (13 left), 40 had...
In standard techniques for performing ventriculoperitoneal shunts, the peritoneal catheter is threaded more or less blindly into cavity. Using laparoscopic allows accurate placement, without a large incision, even in replacement procedures and patients with previous abdominal operations. We performed 28 laparoscopically guided shunt placements revisions 24 hydrocephalus (aged 6-80 years). Sixteen of (67%) had surgery. Laparoscopic placement was successful all patients. Mean operative time 63...
✓The authors report an unusual case of a huge intraparenchymal cyst in 4-year-old girl caused by Taenia multiceps infection. After surgical removal the cyst, child recovered completely. Brain infestation coenurus is rare disease, mainly reported Africa, with few reports from patients developed countries. Humans, especially young children, become intermediate hosts ingesting eggs passed excrement definitive host, usually carnivores. In such cases, high mortality and morbidity rates have been...
Intravertebral disc herniation is common in adults, often due to degenerative processes. The occurrence of rare children and usually related traumatic injury. authors present an unusual case a 13-month-old boy with L5–S1 lumbar herniation. was removed via unilateral partial hemilaminectomy approach, sparing the spinal midline structural elements. Although rare, should be differential diagnosis for presenting low-back pain and/or neurological deficit lower limbs.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to describe the clinical characteristics patients with skull fracture adjacent a dural venous sinus (DVS) and evaluate role CT venography (CTV) in diagnosis effect on involved DVS. METHODS comprised vault or base DVS who were admitted 1 medical center during 2-year period. records reviewed for radiographic characteristics. All had undergone CTV potential pathology. radiological findings pathology compared those normal groups using chi-square t-tests...
