Ocular complications following laser therapy are well known. Systemic complications following laser treatment are rare. This article reports on a patient who had a generalized convulsive reaction at the time of laser therapy. The possible causative factors that may have contributed to his seizure
Background: Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is becoming an increasingly popular technique for the treatment of brain lesions. More minimally invasive that open craniotomy for lesion resection, LITT may be more appropriate for
Laser ablation is an emerging, minimally invasive treatment for selected children with intractable focal epilepsy with improved procedural morbidity. Data for children lag similar studies in adults, but the hope is for near-equivalent seizure-control rates and improved neuropsychological outcome
Introduction:Many different types of surgical procedures are available for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy is a stereotactic procedure with the potential to provide excellent seizure outcomes, while minimizing surgical approach related
The objective was to analyze neuropsychological testing data from 15 patients before and after stereotactic laser ablation surgery for temporal lobe epilepsy and to describe the seizure outcomes after stereotactic laser ablation surgery.
A retrospective review of 15 patients who underwent
Within one year 38 patients with bladder tumors--most malignant--were treated by argon-laserbeam (6 Watt and 15 Watt). We now survey altogether 45 endoscopic operations. To bring the laserbeam into the waterfilled bladder, we use a special light-conductor and a normal operation-cystoscope. Laser
In common with other stereotactic procedures, stereotactic laser thermocoagulation (SLT) promises gentle destruction of pathological tissue, which might become especially relevant for epilepsy surgery in the future. Compared to standard resection, no large craniotomy is necessary, cortical damage
Stereotactic laser ablation (SLA) is a minimally invasive approach to the treatment of medication-resistant epilepsy that accomplishes ablation of the seizure focus with real-time magnetic resonance thermal mapping. Rates of seizure freedom in early series suggest that SLA approaches and perhaps
MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MgLiTT) uses a narrow diameter cannula to stereotactically target and heat deeper cerebral structures. This technique produces a precise lesion in the brain with great reliability because the localized tissue temperature change is monitored in real
Tuberous sclerosis (TSC) is a well-known cause of medically refractory epilepsy (MRE). Stereoencephalography-directed magnetic resonance-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (SEEG-directed MRgLITT) is an emerging minimally invasive technique that appears aptly suited for the Recent evidence shows that seizures propagate primarily through supragranular cortical layers. To selectively modify these circuits, we developed a new technique using tightly focused, femtosecond infrared laser pulses to make as small as ~100 µm-wide subsurface cortical incisions surrounding an
OBJECTIVE
To describe the role of OtoScan laser-assisted myringotomy (OtoLAM) for indications other than chronic otitis media or recurrent acute otitis media.
METHODS
Cross-sectional review.
METHODS
Twenty-seven office-based OtoLAM procedures were performed in 21 patients for "atypical" reasons. The
Besides other innovative stereotactic procedures (radiofrequency thermocoagulation, focused ultrasound, gamma knife) laser interstitial thermotherapy (LiTT) provides minimally invasive destruction of pathological soft tissues which could be especially relevant for epilepsy surgeries involving adult
Completion corpus callosotomy can offer further remission from disabling seizures when a prior partial corpus callosotomy has failed and residual callosal tissue is identified on imaging. Traditional microsurgical approaches to section residual fibers carry risks associated with
