Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Cl− channels in primary brain tumour
TL;DR: A potential therapeutic strategy for treatment of glioma can be through the inhibition of selected Cl- channels, which can be in part due to prolonged chemotherapy leading to mutations in genes associated with multi-drug resistances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epilepsy surgery in childhood: no longer the treatment of last resort
TL;DR: Jette et al. as discussed by the authors found that epilepsy occurs in 1% to 2% of children and has been identified by the World Health Organization as the most common serious serious neurologic condition affecting children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intracerebral malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor in a child with neurofibromatosis Type 1 and middle cerebral artery aneurysm treated with endovascular coil embolization

TL;DR: The case of a 9-year-old, previously healthy girl who presented in extremis with a right frontal intracerebral hemorrhage resulting from a ruptured right middle cerebral artery (MCA) trifurcation aneurysm is described, which represents the only known case of intracranial neoplasm arising in the region of an intrusion repaired by endovascular coil embolization.
Book ChapterDOI
Ependymoma: a heterogeneous tumor of uncertain origin and limited therapeutic options.
TL;DR: A subset of tumors, for which radiation therapy can be avoided, is trying to define, with adults harboring supratentorial and spinal tumors and pediatric tumors being mainly in the posterior fossa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Source localization of interictal spike-locked neuromagnetic oscillations in pediatric neocortical epilepsy.

TL;DR: ERB can be used for source localization of interictal spikes and can be predictive of the ictal onset zone in a subset of patients with neocortical epilepsy, and these results support the utility of beamformer source localization as a fast semi-automated method for source localized of intericted spikes and planning the surgical strategy.
