Temporal lobe epilepsy with isolated amygdala enlargement: anatomo-electro-clinical features and long-term outcome.

J Neurol

January 2025

Epilepsy Unit - Sleep Disorders Unit, Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Neurologico Carlo Besta, Milan, Italy.

Background: Temporal lobe epilepsy with isolated amygdala enlargement (TLE-AE) still lacks a definite characterization and controversies exist.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study identifying brain MRI scans with isolated AE between 2015 and 2021. We collected clinical and paraclinical data of patients with TLE-AE and evaluated the outcome.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral pandemic and a matter of concern. It also mimics viral pneumonia with cough and fever but also causes severe sequels and various complications. Subdural empyema is a very rare brain infection presenting mostly with fever, weakness, and altered level of consciousness, and has been recently noted as a new complication of COVID-19.

Refining computer-assisted SEEG planning with spatial priors - A novel comparison of implantation strategies across adult and paediatric centres.

Neurophysiol Clin

January 2025

Developmental Neurosciences, UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, London, WC1N 1EH, UK; Department of Neurosurgery, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, London, WC1N 3JH, UK.

Objectives: Computer-assisted planning (CAP) allows faster SEEG planning and improves grey matter sampling, orthogonal drilling angles to the skull, reduces risk scores and minimises intracerebral electrode length. Incorporating prior SEEG trajectories enhances CAP planning, refining output with centre-specific practices. This study significantly expands on the previous work, compares priors libraries between two centres, and describes differences between SEEG in adults and children in these centres.

Epileptic spasms (ES) are a unique seizure type typically presenting in the form of infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) with characteristic hypsarrhythmia on scalp EEG and a preponderance with developmental delay or regression. While pharmacotherapy is the mainstay of treatment, surgical options, including disconnective or resective procedures, are increasingly recognized as viable therapeutic options for recurrent or persistent ES. However, limited data on safety, effectiveness, and prognostic factors hinder informed decision-making regarding surgery indications, timing, and intervention type.
