Schizencephaly is a rare malformation of cortical development resulting from cell migration defects that occur unilaterally or bilaterally. The type of the schizencephalic cleft can be open lip or closed lip. Patients suffering from refractory seizures secondary to schizencephaly should be
Schizencephaly is a very rare neurological disorder usually discovered during radiological evaluation of children and young adults with seizure disorders or neurodevelopmental anomalies. We present a 66-year-old patient with right-sided hemiatrophy and paresis presenting with an adult-onset seizure
Schizencephaly is characterized by unilateral or bilateral cerebral clefts associated with neurologic deficits and epilepsy. Most commonly schizencephaly is attributed to abnormal neuronal migration, and these malformations are well visualized by current neuroimaging techniques. This report
Schizencephaly is an uncommon malformation of cortical development. Patients with schizencephaly present with a broad range of severe neurologic symptoms including pharmacoresistant epilepsy. Rufinamide is a new antiepileptic drug approved for use as adjunctive therapy of seizures associated with
Background Eating epilepsy (EE) is a rare form of reflex epilepsy in which seizures are induced by eating. It is known that most patients with eating seizures, in fact, suffer from symptomatic temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), whereas only a few patients with epileptic spasms induced by eating (E-ES)
Schizencephaly is an extremely rare congenital disease caused by abnormal neuronal migration. The etiology of schizencephaly is not established but vascular disturbance in early childhood could cause this condition. We have cared of a patient with schizencephaly. The patient was 47 year old male. He
We report the neuropsychological, magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalographic telemetry, and sodium amytal test findings of a 32-year-old, left-handed man with unilateral left hemisphere type I schizencephaly. The patient was referred for treatment of medically refractory left temporal
Schizencephaly is a rare and severe congenital brain defect. Its etiology is not unequivocal and its clinical course differs with every case. The aim of the study was to analyze correlations between clinical and radiologic features of schizencephaly in Polish patients. The study group consisted of
BACKGROUND
Schizencephaly is a developmental anomaly of the brain that is sometimes associated with intractable seizures. Patients that suffer from medically refractory seizures may be considered for surgical treatment.
METHODS
Five patients with intractable epilepsy associated with schizencephaly
Schizencephaly is an anomaly of the subtotal brain development, which occurs as the presence of a cleft lined with grey matter extending from subarachnoid space to the ventricles. It may be manifested by psychomotor retardation, paresis or partial seizures and drug-resistant convulsions. The
We compared the electroclinical features and evolution of patients with two different types of abnormal cortical organization: unilateral closed-lip schizencephaly (SCHZ) and unilateral polymicrogyria (PMG). Between February 1990 and June 2002, 51 children with either unilateral PMG or closed-lip
Schizencephaly is a primary developmental defect of the brain, presumably caused by failure of formation of the cerebral mantle in the regions of the cerebral fissures. Identification has usually been at autopsy, in association with severe neurologic abnormalities. We identified the characteristic
BACKGROUND
Surgical treatment of schizencephaly with fused lips has been reported in few cases. In all of the previously reported cases, temporal lobectomy was selected as a major surgical treatment, except for one case with cortical resection. We present a case of direct resection of dysplastic
The migrational disorders are a rare group of congenital malformations of the brain. They consist of the following entities - lissencephaly (agyria - pachygyria), pachygyria, schizencephaly, heterotopia and polymicrogyria. We studied 40 children with migrational disorders radiologically with CT and
