  1. 1. Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Tractography in Epilepsy Surgery Candidates

    Författare :Daniel Nilsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :epilepsy; epilepsy surgery; temporal lobe resection; optic radiation; diffusion tensor imaging; tractography;

    Sammanfattning : In selected patients with medically refractory epilepsy, surgical treatment can render the patients seizure free or significantly reduce seizure frequency. Temporal lobe resection (TLR) for temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most commonly performed epilepsy surgery procedure. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Source localisation of epileptiform activity in epilepsy of temporal lobe origin

    Författare :Göran Lantz; Klinisk neurofysiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; frequency analysis; ictal; singe photon emission computed tomography; volume conduction; extracranial; intracranial; LORETA; dipole; source localisation; epilepsy; mesolimbic; Fast Fourier Transform; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : In patients with drug resistant partial epilepsy, who are under consideration for epilepsy surgery, interictal and ictal EEG recorded with extracranial electrodes plays an important role in the localisation of the seizure onset area. During the past years, methods have been developed, which can be used to estimate the location of the source of epileptiform activity in the brain from extracranial EEG data. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Epilepsy in young adulthood : medical, psychosocial and functional aspects

    Författare :Helena Gauffin; Anne-Marie Landtblom; Birgitta Söderfeldt; Maria Engström; Thomas Karlsson; Lena Räty; Elinor Ben-Menachem; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Epilepsy; young adult; Quality of Life; self-esteem; daily life; antiepileptic drugs; cognition; language; fMRI; Sence of Coherence;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to describe the medical, cognitive and psychosocial consequences of epilepsy in young adulthood. Four studies were carried out with this patient group. LÄS MER

  5. 4. EPILEPSY AND CHILDHOOD AUTISM - with special reference to neuropsychiatric aspects on surgical interventions for medically intractable epilepsy

    Författare :Susanna Danielsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :epilepsy; autism; epilepsy surgery; psychopathology; VNS; treatment outcome; children; cognition;

    Sammanfattning : Epilepsy is much more common in individuals with autism than in the general population. The extent to which epilepsy influences the outcome of autism is poorly understood. Many children with medically intractable epilepsy have neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Histopathological and neuroimaging studies in partial epilepsy with emphasis on malformations of cortical development

    Författare :Sofia Eriksson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; epilepsy; epilepsy surgery; multiple pathology; malformations of cortical development; microdysgenesis; morphometry; diffusion tensor imaging;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the first part of the present study was to describe the whole Göteborg epilepsy surgery series between 1987 and 1995 with respect to surgical procedures, histopathological findings and clinical correlates. We found a high proportion of malformations of cortical development (MCD) and patients with MCD were studied in further detail in the following studies. LÄS MER
