  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. Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Tractography of the Visual Pathways

    Författare :Ylva Lilja; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Diffusion tensor imaging; Visual pathways; Tractography; Temporal lobe resection; Pituitary adenomas;

    Sammanfattning : The visual pathways are essential for human vision, stretching from the retinas of the eyes, via the anterior visual pathways and the optic radiations, to the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe. Injury to these structures will lead to visual impairment – from small deficits to blindness. LÄS MER

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. A longitudinal study of cognitive changes after surgical treatment for epilepsy

    Författare :Elisabeth Engman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Epilepsy surgery; general neurocognitive status; memory; group change; individual heterogeneity;

    Sammanfattning : Epilepsy surgery is a valuable therapeutic option for some patients with pharmaco-resistant partial epilepsy, but resection of cortical tissue carries a risk of creating or worsening a dysfunction. Therefore pre-and postoperative levels of cognitive function are systematically monitored in epilepsy surgery programs. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Longitudinal cognitive changes in medically and surgically treated patients with drug resistant partial epilepsy

    Författare :Lena Andersson-Roswall; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; drug resistant partial epilepsy; epilepsy surgery; longitudinal cognitive changes;

    Sammanfattning : When this study was initiated, there were few published longitudinal studies on cognition in medically treated patients with refractory epilepsy, and none included reassessment data from healthy controls. At the time there were no long-term reports on surgically treated epilepsy patients. LÄS MER
