Thirty-day non-seizure outcomes following temporal lobectomy for adult epilepsy
2017, Clinical Neurology and NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :The limitations of these studies, particularly in regards to the NIS database and the systemic review by Hader et al., are well established and discussed above. A single center series of 200 TL cases reported 6 late deaths with no 30-day deaths, major (permanent and/or severe) neurological complication rates of 8%, and minor (temporary or not severe) complication rates of 45.5% [10]. Another single center study of 140 TL cases reported three major non-seizure complications (2.1%) and 15 minor non-seizure complications (10.7%) [8].
Assessment of the Temporopolar Artery as a Donor Artery for Intracranial-Intracranial Bypass to the Middle Cerebral Artery: Anatomic Feasibility Study
2017, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :In our extensive review of the literature, we did not come across any studies conclusively delineating the neurologic deficits associated with the occlusion of the TPA.12,13 However, extrapolating the available evidence from studies on clinical outcomes of anterior temporal lobectomies for temporal lobe epilepsy, one may deduce that the sacrifice of the arterial supply of the anterior temporal region (supplied by the distal ATA and TPA) is usually without major permanent neurologic complications.14-18 Alkadhi et al.7 reported 2 cases of aneurysms at the origin of the TPA.
Tailored cortical resection following image guided subdural grid implantation for medically refractory epilepsy
2009, Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :However the numbers of patients undergoing invasive monitoring and use of prophylactic antibiotics prior to or during the invasive monitoring period was unfortunately not commented on.21 Elsewhere infection following resective surgery has been reported as between 2% and 5%.34,35 The role of prophylactic dexamethasone administration during the period of monitoring with subdural grids is controversial.
Surgical treatment of epilepsy
2001, Neurologic ClinicsCitation Excerpt :The risk of decline in naming is greater with more extensive resection of the lateral temporal neocortex.55 In addition to memory and language disturbances, hemiparesis, psychiatric disturbances, hematoma, meningitis, and diplopia caused by third or fourth cranial neuropathy have been reported after temporal lobe resection.12,91 Superior quadrant defects are found in over 50% of patients after ATL.12
