Neuropathology of focal epilepsy: the promise of artificial intelligence and digital Neuropathology 3.0.

Pathology

Focal lesions of the human neocortex often cause drug-resistant epilepsy, yet ​surgical resection of the epileptogenic region has been proven as a successful strategy to control seizures in a carefully selected patient cohort. Continuous efforts to study neurosurgically resected brain samples at the microscopic level, i.e.

Low-grade gliomas and reactive piloid gliosis can present with overlapping features on conventional histology. Given the large implications for patient treatment, there is a need for effective methods to discriminate these morphologically similar but clinically distinct entities. Using routinely available stains, we hypothesize that a limited panel including SOX10, p16, and cyclin D1 may be useful in differentiating mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase-activated low-grade gliomas from piloid gliosis.

Gangliogliomas (GG) are rare primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. These CNS tumors are more commonly located at the supratentorial level. The treatment of choice for these tumors is surgical resection, and the role of radiotherapy remains controversial.

Article Synopsis
  • - The article discusses a rare finding of atypical pathological features in the brains of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, revealing a mix of ganglioglioma and focal cortical dysplasia, which hasn't been documented before.
  • - Comprehensive tests including histopathological staining and molecular genetic analysis were conducted, and MRI scans showed unusual patterns such as "transmantle" distribution and local alterations in the brain structure.
  • - The findings suggest the presence of a new subgroup of gangliogliomas characterized by cellular atypia, indicating a potential link between different types of neuronal-glial tumors that could reshape our understanding of epilepsy-related brain pathology.

Child Neurology: Simple Motor Tics Associated With Thalamic Ganglioglioma.

Neurology

December 2024

From the Department of Pediatric Neurology (Y.C.), Guizhou Branch of Shanghai Children's Medical Center of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine; Department of Pediatric Neurology (Y.C.), Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital; School of Public Heath (M.Y.), the Key Laboratory of Environmental Pollution Monitoring and Disease Control, Ministry of Education, Guizhou Medical University, Guiyang; and Department of Rehabilitation (H.Z.), Children's Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Tic disorders (TDs) are varied neurodevelopmental conditions linked to issues in the CSTC circuit; this article discusses a case study of a 9-year-old boy with simple tics due to a thalamic brain tumor.
  • Brain imaging showed a mass in the left thalamus, and after its removal, the boy's tic symptoms completely resolved, indicating the thalamus's role in the condition.
  • The literature review highlighted similar cases where TDs were associated with brain tumors affecting the CSTC circuit, often accompanied by more complex tic symptoms and comorbidities.
