Journal ArticleDOI

Histopathological Findings in Brain Tissue Obtained during Epilepsy Surgery.

Ingmar Blümcke, +74 more
TL;DR: In patients with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy requiring surgery, hippocampal sclerosis was the most common histopathological diagnosis among adults, and focal cortical dysplasia was the second most common lesion in both groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Different presurgical characteristics and seizure outcomes in children with focal cortical dysplasia type I or II

TL;DR: Differences between FCD type I and II with respect to imaging and EEG findings, clinical and neuropsychological presentations, and surgical outcome are characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epilepsy surgery in children with focal cortical dysplasia (FCD): results of long-term seizure outcome.

TL;DR: Epilepsy surgery resulted in good seizure control in 60 % of children with intractable epilepsy due to focal cortical dysplasia, and seizure outcome was not significantly different in patients with mild (type I) or balloon cell (type II) FCD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seizure outcome and use of antiepileptic drugs after epilepsy surgery according to histopathological diagnosis: a retrospective multicentre cohort study

Herm J. Lamberink, +187 more
- 01 Sep 2020 - 
TL;DR: Children were more often drug-free; temporal lobe surgeries had the best seizure outcomes; and a longer duration of epilepsy was associated with reduced chance of favourable seizure outcomes and drug freedom.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuropathologic measurements in focal cortical dysplasias: validation of the ILAE 2011 classification system and diagnostic implications for MRI

TL;DR: It is concluded that the “transmantle sign” is a unique finding in FCD Type IIb, and the systematic analysis of well-specified histopathological features could be helpful to improve sensitivity and specificity in MRI detection during pre-surgical work up of patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsies.
