[Congenital basal encephaloceles involving functionally important structures].

October 2024
Article Synopsis
- Basal encephaloceles are rare conditions that can affect key brain structures, leading to various health issues such as nasal breathing and vision problems in a significant number of cases.
- A review of 43 articles covering 78 cases showed high rates of concomitant malformations and various complications following surgery, with nearly half of patients experiencing postoperative issues.
- Due to the complexity and variability of each case, thorough evaluations are essential for developing tailored treatment strategies that minimize risks associated with surgical interventions.
[Focal cortical dysplasia: visual assessment of MRI and MR morphometry data].

June 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how effective MR morphometry is in localizing focal cortical dysplasias (FCD) in children with drug-resistant epilepsy after surgery.
- It involved 13 children whose MR data was independently assessed by three radiologists, comparing traditional visual analysis with MR morphometry.
- Results showed that MR morphometry detected FCD more accurately and identified signs like gray-white matter blurring that were often overlooked by radiologists.
Unlabelled: The future of contemporary neuroimaging does not solely lie in novel image-capturing technologies, but also in better methods for extraction of useful information from these images. Scientists see great promise in radiomics, i.e.

Unlabelled: Focal cortical dysplasias are known to be the most frequent and furtive lesions leading to intractable epilepsy in children. Epilepsy surgery in central gyri, been effective in 60-70% of cases, is still significantly challenging due to the high risk of postoperative permanent neurological impairment.
Study Aims: Assessment of the outcome after epilepsy surgery in children with FCD in central lobules.
Unlabelled: Most children with tuberous sclerosis (TS) present with intractable seizures. Various factors including demography, clinical data and surgery option are mentioned to affect the outcome after epilepsy surgery in these cases.
Objective: To evaluate some demographic and clinical variables probably related to seizure outcome.
