Three children with cerebral oligodendrogliomas causing partial complex or generalized seizures presented with completely normal neurologic examinations. CT showed low-density, nonenhancing surface lesions. Although these CT features are usually associated with infarcts or cysts, neoplasm was
Diffuse astrocytic and oligodendroglial tumors are frequently associated with symptomatic epilepsy, and predictive seizure control is important for the improvement of patient quality of life. To elucidate the factors related to drug resistance of brain tumor-associated epilepsy from a pathological
BACKGROUND
Some patients with oligodendrogliomas have generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) while others have only partial seizures (PS). We investigated the relationship between tumour localization and seizure generalization using quantitative lesion mapping on magnetic resonance
Tumor-related epilepsy (TRE) is common in patients with low-grade oligodendrogliomas. TRE is difficult to control despite multiple antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in up to 30% of patients. Chemotherapy has been used for treatment to avoid potential radiotherapy-related neurotoxicity. This BACKGROUND
Many patients with an oligodendroglioma (OD) experience seizures, some of which become refractory to anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs). This study aims (1) to quantify the rate of seizures and medically refractory epilepsy in patients with ODs; and (2) to determine if there is any association
Low grade oligodendrogliomas (LGO) are diffusely infiltrating World Health Organization (WHO) grade II gliomas, 20 - 30% of which show contrast enhancement. Seizures are a common presenting feature. It has been suggested that 1p19q co-deletion is associated with occurrence of seizures in adults,
Epilepsy develops in more than 70-90% of oligodendroglial tumors and represents a favorable indicator for long-term survival if present as the first clinical sign. Presence of IDH1 mutation is frequently associated with seizures in oligodendrogliomas, next to alterations of glutamate and GABA
OBJECTIVE
To report long-term clinical and seizure outcomes of patients who were operated upon insular gliomas via trans-opercular approach.
METHODS
Since 2010, surgical resection of insular gliomas was performed via trans-opercular approach by our group. Clinical, surgical and follow-up results
On the basis of 346 glioma patients operated on in the years 1969-1983, the frequency of epileptic seizures and their importance for the diagnosis as well as the causes of the delay in clearing up the clinical picture were ascertained. Of the 226 patients with an astrocytoma, 51.5 per cent had one
We describe the case of a 45-year-old woman with frequent simple partial seizures consisting mainly of autonomic manifestations including flatulence. The ictal onset and interictal EEG epileptiform abnormalities were localized to the right frontotemporal region. This localization was supported by
BACKGROUND
Patients with physical brain abnormalities have an increased risk of developing psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES). Here we describe patients who developed PNES after intracranial neurosurgery for indications other than the control of refractory epileptic seizures and explore
A case of meningioangiomatosis occurring in a 15-year-old boy is reported. The patient did not show signs of neurofibromatosis on physical examination, and his medical history included only one previous episode of loss of consciousness, which was accompanied by a self-limited focal seizure. The
An 8-year-old neutered male Toy Poodle was presented with chronic, progressive tetraparesis, and possible seizures. Magnetic resonance images demonstrated an extensive, T1 and T2 hyperintense contrast enhancing mass in the cervical spinal cord. Three nodules were present on the surface of the
A 48-year-old man was admitted to our department with generalized convulsive seizures followed by recurrent partial clonic convulsions in the left face and arm. Convulsions stopped temporarily after administration of diazepam, fosphenytoin, and levetiracetam. However, frequent partial seizures
