1. Multimodal quantitative magnetic resonance imaging analysis with individualized postprocessing in patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy and conventional visual inspection negative for epileptogenic lesions
OBJECTIVES: Approximately one-third of candidates for epilepsy surgery have no visible abnormalities on conventional magnetic resonance imaging. This is extremely discouraging, as these patients have a less favorable prognosis. We aimed to evaluate the utility of quantitative magnetic resonance imaging in patients with drug-resistant neocortical focal epile

2. Aspects of Oral Language, Speech, and Written Language in Subjects with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy of Difficult Control
Introduction About 50 million people have epilepsy and 30% of them have epilepsy that does not respond to properly conducted drug treatment. Objective Verify the incidence of language disorders in oral language, speech, and written language of subjects with difficult to control temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and compare the occurrence of these disorders in

3. Partial epilepsy: A pictorial review of 3 TESLA magnetic resonance imaging features
Epilepsy is a disease with serious consequences for patients and society. In many cases seizures are sufficiently disabling to justify surgical evaluation. In this context, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the most valuable tools for the preoperative localization of epileptogenic foci. Because these lesions show a large variety of presentations (in

4. Uso do padrão ictal na epilepsia da região mesial do lobo temporal associada à esclerose hipocampal como marcador prognóstico pós-cirúrgico: uma coorte retrospectiva / The use of ictal patterns in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis as a prognostic instrument for post-surgical seizures: a retrospective cohort study.
Pacientes com epilepsia do lobo temporal farmacorresistente, frequentemente, possuem esclerose hipocampal como lesão epileptogênica. Muitas vezes, estes pacientes se beneficiam de lobectomia temporal para redução da ocorrência de crises epilépticas. Para que possam se submeter a este procedimento, é necessário o uso da videoeletroencefalografia prolo

5. Relação entre volume hipocampal e volume de ressecção cirúrgica com controle de crises e desempenho de memória em pacientes com epilepsia de lobo temporal mesial submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico / Relationship between hippocampal volume and surgical resection volume with seizure control and memory performance in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy undergoig surgical treatment
Epilepsy is the second most frequent neurological disease and temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common form of focal epilepsy and is more frequently associated to refractoriness and memory decline. The epileptogenic lesion can be studied through magnetic resonance imaging, EEG and other tests, facilitating the indication of surgery that aims to reduce seizu

6. Memória e atividade elétrica neuronal do hipocampo após ressecção na epilepsia do lobo temporal
Aim: To investigate the correlation between neuronal electrical activity (viability) in human hippocampal slices in vitro and post-operative memory performance of patients submitted to epilepsy surgery due to temporal mesial sclerosis.Methods: The sample comprised 64 patients with temporal lobe epilepsy refractory to drug treatment submitted to selective amy

7. Em busca da região epileptiforme em pacientes com epilepsia do lobo temporal: métodos alternativos baseados em fMRI e EEG-fMRI / Searching for epileptiform region in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy: alternative methods based on fMRI and EEG-fMRI
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common and resistant form of epilepsy to anti-epileptic drug. There are several types of anti-epileptic drugs used in seizure control. However, in some cases drug treatment is not effective and surgery to remove the epileptogenic zone (EZ) is a recommended alternative. EZ is a theoretical concept and there are many te

8. EEG spike source localization before and after surgery for temporal lobe epilepsy: a BOLD EEG-fMRI and independent component analysis study
Simultaneous measurements of EEG-functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) combine the high temporal resolution of EEG with the distinctive spatial resolution of fMRI. The purpose of this EEG-fMRI study was to search for hemodynamic responses (blood oxygen level-dependent - BOLD responses) associated with interictal activity in a case of right mesial temp

9. Emprego e qualidade de vida na epilepsia do lobo temporal mesial com esclerose do hipocampo: há uma mudança após a cirurgia?
OBJETIVO: Avaliar o estado empregatício e a qualidade de vida (QV) de indivíduos com epilepsia do lobo temporal mesial (ELTM) com esclerose do hipocampo (EH) antes e três anos após a realização de corticoamigdalohipocampectomia e verificar as variáveis demográficas e clínicas associadas ao emprego. METODOLOGIA: 58 pacientes com ELTM com EH submetido

10. : Prospective analysis between surgical and clinical treatments for mesial temporal lobe epilepsytemporal / Comparação prospectiva entre o tratamento clinico e o tratamento cirurgico para epilepsia de lobo temporal mesial
Objective: Surgery for refractory mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) generally offers good seizure control for approximately 70% of patients. In this study we compared the efficacy between surgical and clinical treatments and investigated the relationship between pre-operative structural abnormalities (white matter and grey matter atrophy) and surgical out

11. Analysis of the expression profile and distribution of EFHC1 gene transcript during rodent brain development and in the adult animal / Analise da expressão e localização do transcrito do gene EFHC1 no cerebro de roedores durante o desenvolvimento e no animal adulto
Epilepsy is a frequent condition that affects around 1.5% of general population and is considered worldwide as a public health problem. The term epilepsy refers to a group of chronic neurological disorders with different etiologies and prognostics. However, a common characteristic of all epilepsies is the recurrence of seizures. Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (

12. Estudo de pacientes submetidos a profilaxia antiepilÃptica apÃs cirurgia para traumatismo craniencefÃlico
Introduction: Epileptic crisis after neurological surgery for brain injury, derived from symptomatic vasospasms or cortical injuries, can aggravate aggression to nervous system due to metabolic alterations. Clinical behavior for these epileptic crises still excites controversy on the institution of antiepileptic treatment as well as to best drug, time and id
