Article Synopsis
- In patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) who have normal MRI results, there is debate about whether to perform anterior temporal lobectomy while sparing the hippocampus due to potential memory loss risks.
- A study examined 17 patients with normal MRIs and EEG data that indicated unilateral seizure activity, categorizing them into two groups based on the timing of hippocampal involvement during seizures.
- The results showed no significant difference in post-operative seizure and neuropsychological outcomes regardless of whether the hippocampus was removed during surgery, suggesting that SEEG should be part of the surgical planning for these patients.
Objective: Benchmarking has been proposed to reflect surgical quality and represents the highest standard reference values for desirable results. We sought to determine benchmark outcomes in patients after surgery for drug-resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE).
Methods: This retrospective multicenter study included patients who underwent MTLE surgery at 19 expert centers on five continents.
Background: Understanding and teaching the three-dimensional architecture of the brain remains difficult because of the intricate arrangement of grey nuclei within white matter tracts. Although cortical area functions have been well studied, educational and three-dimensional descriptions of the organization of deep nuclei and white matter tracts are still missing.
Objective: We propose herein a detailed step-by-step dissection of the lateral aspect of a left hemisphere using the Klingler method and provide high-quality stereoscopic views with the aim to help teach medical students or surgeons the three-dimensional anatomy of the brain.
Introduction: Risk factors (e.g., motor symptom asymmetry) for short- and long-term cognitive and neuropsychiatric symptoms following deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in patients with Parkinson's disease have yet to be fully identified.
