Extra temporal sugery for focal resection in intractable epilepsy of no tumor cause. Two cases report
Abstract
Epilepsy is one of the commonest chronic neurological diseases, affects nearly 0,5-1% people, causing substantial morbidity, mortality, and economic costs. Head trauma is the most common cause of remote symptomatic epilepsy in the 15–34-year-old age range, making up approximately 30% of cases; nevertheless it is not clear what proportions of these patients develop medically intractable epilepsy. Intracranial calcifications are a frequent chance finding in many neuroimaging tests in adults but its relation with intractable epilepsy is unclear. Two cases are showing with intractable epilepsy of traumatic and intracranial calcification origin that were operated on for extra temporal focal resectionDownloads
