Proposed Criteria for Referral and Evaluation of Children for Epilepsy Surgery: Recommendations of the Subcommission for Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery
J. Helen Cross,Prasanna Jayakar,Doug Nordli,Olivier Delalande,Michael Duchowny,Heinz G. Wieser,Renzo Guerrini,Gary W. Mathern +7 more
TL;DR: The panel agreed that insufficient class 1 evidence exists to recommend practice guidelines at this time, and generated criteria concerning the unique features of pediatric epilepsy patients to justify dedicated resources for specialty pediatric surgical centers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pavel Krsek,Bruno Maton,Prasanna Jayakar,P. Dean,Brandon Korman,Gustavo Rey,Catalina Dunoyer,Esperanza Pacheco-Jacome,Glenn Morrison,John Ragheb,Harry V. Vinters,Trevor Resnick,Michael Duchowny +12 more
TL;DR: The ability to define and fully excise the entire region of dysplastic cortex is the most powerful variable influencing outcome in pediatric patients with focal cortical dysplasia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Different features of histopathological subtypes of pediatric focal cortical dysplasia.
Pavel Krsek,Bruno Maton,Brandon Korman,Esperanza Pacheco-Jacome,Prasanna Jayakar,Catalina Dunoyer,Gustavo Rey,Glenn Morrison,Glenn Morrison,John Ragheb,John Ragheb,Harry V. Vinters,Trevor Resnick,Trevor Resnick,Michael Duchowny,Michael Duchowny +15 more
TL;DR: The aim of the study was to define distinctive features of FCD subtypes and establish a hierarchy of histopathological types of F CD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors of outcome in pediatric epilepsy surgery.
J. M. Paolicchi,Prasanna Jayakar,P. Dean,Ilker Yaylali,Glenn Morrison,A. R. Prats,T. Resnik,Alvarez La,Michael Duchowny +8 more
TL;DR: In this series of pediatric patients, complete resection of the lesion and the electrographically abnormal region was the main determinant of outcome after focal resections.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Partial seizures in early postnatal life may be catastrophic and associated with poor long‐term outcome, and there is little experience with surgical therapy in infancy apart from hemispheric epilepsy syndromes.
