eCollection 2022. Clinical presentation Most patients present with temporal lobe epilepsy. Mesial temporal sclerosis is scarring in the inner portions of the temporal lobe, which is the part of the brain that process emotions and is important for short-term memory. We investigated seizure frequency in the last 2 years and divided the patients into two groups. Accessibility Disclaimer. doi: 10.1002/epi4.12536. The time period allowed access to high-resolution qualitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a minimum of 1-year outcome assessment. Mesial Temporal Sclerosis The temporal lobe is a part of the brain under the temples on the side of the head. MTS typically causes focal seizures, which are seizures confined to one area of the brain.

There is no evidence of cases of mesial temporal sclerosis discovered in old age. There is a better long-term outcome in patients with MTS receiving surgical therapy in comparison with medical therapy. Modulatory Potential of LncRNA Zfas1 for Inflammation and Neuronal Apoptosis in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. Stimulation modulates activity and can decrease seizures. The average age of epilepsy onset was 12.211.0 years, and the average duration of epilepsy was 40.412.3 years. Febrile seizures and mesial temporal sclerosis. [7] In young individuals, mesial temporal sclerosis is commonly recognized with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). after the initial condition that causes scarring of the temporal lobe. Minimally invasive options for medically refractory epilepsy Regarding social adjustment, Group 2 contained significantly fewer current jobholders than Group 1 (p = 0.0288). Rarely MTS can be detected in children during the first decade of life, but is not commonly found until adolescence. On the contrary, successful surgical therapy is frequently reported. In PET examination, glucose uptake is lower than in the normal part. Individuals with hippocampal sclerosis have similar initial symptoms and rates of dementia progression to those with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and therefore are frequently misclassified as having Alzheimer's Disease. In Group 2, 24.1% experienced a gradual reduction of seizures over the course of medical treatment, which was the most noteworthy transition in this group. The glutamate imbalance may lead to a complex metabolic process that is damaging to nerve cells. Objectives: To use surgery as a treatment for medically intractable epilepsy in children and adults. Patient records/information were anonymized and de-identified prior to analysis. The tests and surgery performed as part of this treatment are not experimental. Twenty-five percent of patients with TLE-HS maintained their seizure-free status for 1 year after a 2-year follow-up, with medication only [10]. 2021 Mar 11;13:616607. doi: 10.3389/fnsyn.2021.616607. The most common reason for the selection of non-surgical treatment was refusal of surgery (24 patients). If two medications have not worked, it is recommended that patients be referred for possible surgical evaluation. Early diagnosis and intervention can lessen the long-term impact of MTS. Rev Neurol (Paris). The. Epilepsy Causes | Johns Hopkins Medicine Analyzed the data: TK KS. Mesial temporal lobe sclerosis is the most commonly seen cause for medication refractory epilepsy and is characterized by an indistinct graywhite matter differentiation, abnormal high signal on T2/Flair sequences, and atrophy. Curr Opin Neurol. Depth electrodes and/or brain surface electrodes measure brain activities and determine the part of the brain responsible for the seizures (seizure focus). Patients in Group 2 had been prescribed more AEDs in the past, and took more AEDs at the time of investigation, than patients in Group 1. Careers. The average of age in our study was significantly older than that in previous reports [10, 11]. Each observer was asked to make an overall diagnosis and to confirm the lateralization of the lesion. Life expectancy among patients with brain atrophy can be influenced by the condition that caused the brain shrinkage. Many persons will respond well to medications or other therapies for mood disorders. Castro LH, Serpa MH, Valrio RM, Jorge CL, Ono CR, Arantes PR, Rosemberg S, Wen HT. A palliative resection means that seizures will not be completely stopped after surgery but can be reduced. The investigators plan to enroll individuals with medial temporal lobe epilepsy undergoing surgical workup with clinically implanted intracranial electrodes. 1.Can be. Disclaimer. This part of the brain is responsible for multiple functions, including the regulation of emotions and memory. The long-term prognosis of epilepsy patients with medically treated over a period of eight years in Turkey. MTS may be caused by head trauma, infections, or disruption of the oxygen supply to the brain. The condition is also referred to as hippocampal sclerosis. MTS may cause cognitive and behavioral symptoms as well as seizures. MTS affects the hippocampus which is the brain region that is involved in memory formation and retrieval, and the amygdala which is involved in emotional processing. simple partial seizures of the dj-vu or jamais-vu type; or including epigastric or psychic manifestations, followed by complex partial seizures characterized by staring and oral automatisms with or without superior limb automatisms or contralateral superior limb dystonia); c) HS was evident on MRI as signal hyperintensity within the hippocampus on T2-weighted or fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) images, or as hippocampal atrophy on coronal T1-weighted images; d) patients who had not undergone surgical resection.
