High impact information on Anterior Temporal Lobectomy

  • OBJECTIVE: To examine the long-term effectiveness of anterior temporal lobectomy for refractory epilepsy with regard to seizure control and related medical and psychosocial measures and to determine how patterns of early seizure recurrence relate to long-term prognosis [7].
  • In 5 of 6 patients who underwent anterior temporal lobectomy the interictal 18FDG scan correctly detected the pathologically confirmed lesion as a hypometabolic zone, and removal of the lesion site resulted in marked clinical improvement [8].
  • We assessed the relationship between temporal lobe metabolism measured quantitatively and qualitatively with PET using [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and postoperative seizure frequency after anterior temporal lobectomy [9].
  • Predictors of outcome after anterior temporal lobectomy: the intracarotid amobarbital test [10].
  • The effects of stimulus quality on the amplitude, peak latency, onset latency, and duration of the P300 component of the event-related brain potential were studied in patients with either a left or a right anterior temporal lobectomy and in normal controls [11].
 

Anatomical context of Anterior Temporal Lobectomy

 

Associations of Anterior Temporal Lobectomy with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Anterior Temporal Lobectomy

  • Hippocampal lesions in anterior temporal lobectomy specimens tend to involve the subfields less selectively with CA1 being only slightly more severely affected than dentate granule cells, CA3 and CA2 pyramidal neurones [19].
  • Seventy-four patients who underwent anterior temporal lobectomy were administered the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test preoperatively and approximately 6 months postoperatively [20].
  • We repeated MEG measurement 3 months after right anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) in the TLE patient; 3 months after anticonvulsant medication in the FLE patient [21].
  • Further studies are ongoing to determine if these ERP abnormalities predict hippocampal sclerosis on histopathology, or outcome after anterior temporal lobectomy [22].
