Eating-induced seizures: A semiological sign of the right temporal pole.

Objective: Eating-induced seizures (EIS) are a rare form of reflex seizures. The objective of this study was to report a series of cases of EIS involving patients admitted to our epilepsy unit, and to analyze the clinical characteristics, etiology, and treatment response of this type of infrequent seizure.

Methods: We performed a single-center retrospective analysis of all consecutive patients diagnosed with epilepsy with eating-induced seizures between 2008 and 2020.

Delayed surgical site infection 2 years after cervical disk arthroplasty. Case report and literature review.

Anterior cervical discectomy has a low non-mechanical complication rate. In our literature review, we found 7 cases of delayed surgical site infection. We report a case of cervical prevertebral abscess due to Propionibacterium acnes 2 years after discectomy and arthroplasty, with a beta-2-transferrin false positive test as a complementary highlighted finding.

Ganglioglioma Progression to Combined Anaplastic Ganglioglioma and Anaplastic Pleomorphic Xanthoastrocytoma. Case Report and Literature Review.

Background: Composite ganglioma and pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma with anaplastic features in both components is an extremely rare glioneuronal tumor. Five cases of anaplastic progression in the glioma component have been reported. These tumors generally affect young patients who have brain tumor-related epilepsy, which are usually located in the temporal lobe or in the cerebellum and may have associated leptomeningeal spreading.

Evaluation of the High-Frequency Monopolar Stimulation Technique for Mapping and Monitoring the Corticospinal Tract in Patients With Supratentorial Gliomas. A Proposal for Intraoperative Management Based on Neurophysiological Data Analysis in a Series of 92 Patients.

Background: Intraoperative identification and preservation of the corticospinal tract is often necessary for glioma resection.

Objective: To make a proposal for intraoperative management with the high-frequency monopolar stimulation technique for monitoring the corticospinal tract.

Methods: Ninety-two patients operated on with the assistance of the high-frequency monopolar stimulation.
