Abstract
Background
For drug-resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE), surgery is recommended. There is no evidence of a seizure outcome advantage of temporal lobectomy over other strategies despite the high risks of this surgical procedure.
Methods
We describe a Temporal Resection guided by intraoperative stereo-electroencephalography (iSEEG) and the 18FluoroDeoxyGlucose PET (18FDG PET) (iSP-TR) to treat lesional MTLE. We avoided functional cortical areas using navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (nTMS).
Conclusion
iSP-TR allows for a spare brain parenchyma compared to temporal lobectomy without compromising seizure outcomes.
期刊介绍:
The journal "Acta Neurochirurgica" publishes only original papers useful both to research and clinical work. Papers should deal with clinical neurosurgery - diagnosis and diagnostic techniques, operative surgery and results, postoperative treatment - or with research work in neuroscience if the underlying questions or the results are of neurosurgical interest. Reports on congresses are given in brief accounts. As official organ of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies the journal publishes all announcements of the E.A.N.S. and reports on the activities of its member societies. Only contributions written in English will be accepted.
