Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this study is to describe a series of pediatric hemispherectomies, reviewing pathologic substrate, epilepsy characteristics and seizure outcome as well as developmental profiles, before and after surgery, in different domains.

Methods

Seventeen patients with full pre-surgical work-up, minimum follow-up of 12 months, and at least one post-surgical neuropsychological evaluation were selected. Three had Rasmussen encephalitis (RE), five hemispheric malformations of cortical development (MCD), and nine hemispheric vascular lesions.

Results

At latest follow-up, all patients with RE and 66.7 % of those with vascular lesions are in Engel’s class I; in the latter group, pre-surgical independent contralateral EEG discharges statistically correlated with a worse seizure outcome. Patients with MCD showed the worst seizure outcome. Pre-surgical language transfer to the right hemisphere was confirmed in a boy with left RE, operated on at 6 years of age. Patients with MCD and vascular lesions already showed severe global developmental delay before surgery, which persists afterwards. A linear correlation was found between earlier age at surgery and better outcome in personal–social, gross motor, and adaptive domains, in the vascular lesions group. The case with highest cognitive improvement had continuous spike and wave during sleep on pre-surgical EEG.

Conclusions

Pathologic substrate was the main factor related with seizure outcome. In children with MCD and vascular lesions, although developmental progression is apparent, significant post-surgical improvements are restricted by the severity of pre-surgical neuropsychological disturbances and a slow maturation. Early surgery assessment is recommended to enhance the possibilities for a better quality of life in terms of seizure control, as well as better autonomy and socialization.

Wie erfolgreich ist eine Re-Ablation nach Rezidiv?

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
