Brain Atrophy May Help Predict Surgical Outcomes in Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy With Hippocampal Sclerosis
Atrophy in areas outside of the MTLE-HS network may predict poor surgical outcomes.
Atrophy in areas outside of the MTLE-HS network may predict poor surgical outcomes.
Pre-surgical imaging is an important step in epilepsy evaluations.
While temporal lobectomy is the best treatment for many with medically intractable MTLE, responsive stimulation provides a treatment alternative..
An altered functional network involving the ipsilateral and contralateral hippocampal areas was associated with cognitive impairment in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.
Impairment in recalling names, routes, stories, messages, and a space/time disorientation can adversely impact social adaptation.
