Techniques in Epilepsy Surgery presents the operative procedures used in the treatment of intractable epilepsy in a practical, clinically relevant manner. Founded by pioneering neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield, the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) is a leading global centre of epilepsy surgery and this volume reflects the Institute's approach, combining traditional techniques with modern neuronavigation-based approaches. There is an emphasis on mastering the important trilogy of topographic, vascular and functional anatomy of the brain. The basic anatomical and physiological mechanisms underlying epilepsy are presented in a practical manner, along with the clinical seizure evaluation that leads to a surgical hypothesis. The consultation skills and investigations necessary for appropriate patient selection are discussed, as well as pitfalls and the avoidance of complications. This is an invaluable resource not only for neurosurgeons, neurosurgical residents and fellows in epilepsy surgery, but also for neurologists, and others who provide medical care for patients with intractable epilepsy.

Textbook of Epilepsy Surgery covers all of the latest advances in the surgical management of epilepsy. The book provides a better understanding of epileptogenic mechanisms in etiologically different types of epilepsy and explains neuronavigation systems. It discusses new neuroimaging techniques, new surgical strategies, and more aggressive surgical approaches in cases with catastrophic epilepsies. The contributors also analyze the improved statistics of surgical outcome in different epilepsy types. This definitive textbook is an invaluable reference for neurologists, neurosurgeons, epilepsy specialists, and those interested in epilepsy and its surgical treatment.

The thoroughly revised and updated Second Edition of this landmark work is the most comprehensive and current reference on the surgical treatment of the epilepsies. More than 100 invited experts from around the world present a global view of contemporary approaches to presurgical evaluation, surgical treatment, and postsurgical assessment. This edition provides detailed information on the vital role of structural and functional neuroimaging in presurgical evaluation and surgical planning. Noted experts offer up-to-date patient selection guidelines and explain current concepts of intractability. The book details the most effective surgical techniques, presents extensive data on surgical outcome, and discusses strategies for preventing and managing complications. More than 500 illustrations complement the text. An appendix section includes protocols and outcome statistics from over 50 leading epilepsy surgery centers.

All about diagnostic and prognostic tools available as well as epilepsy surgery. Patients with refractory extratemporal lobe epilepsy, particularly those in whom imaging examinations did not reveal any brain lesions, have a less positive prognosis after surgery than those with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. The semiology of seizures, the functional imaging techniques, neuropsychological evaluation and intracranial EEG are used to select surgical patients. Moreover, a large number of centres have experimented with new methods for identifying the epileptogenic area in these patients. Written by international experts who attended the Cleveland colloquium, it will be all the more useful to neurologists, neurosurgeons and epileptologists as no other work until now has focused on this subject. Contents : Section I - Semiology of extratemporal lobe epilepsy Section II - Non-inasive neurophysiology of extratemporal lobe epilepsies Section III - Neuroimaging of extratemporal lobe epilepsies Section IV - Invasive evaluation of extratemporal lobe epilepsies Section V - Surgery and outcome of extratemporal lobe epilepsies

Intractable Focal Epilepsyis a definitive multi author reference work covering the most difficult to treat epilepsies. The natural history, pathology and treatment, both medical and surgical, of the conditions underlying intractable seizures are fully described and illustrated. Including contributions from North America, Europe and the Pacific Rim, the emphasis throughout is on clinical diagnosis and treatment both medical and surgical, and their respective outcomes. The text is enhanced by over 250 illustrations, and the clear modern design enables the reader to assimilate information quickly. In addition to clinical treatment, there is a section on the costs of persistent intractable focal epilepsy and the costs of surgical treatment. Drs Oxbury, Polkey and Duchowny have produced a book that will appeal to epileptologists, paediatric neurologists, and neurosurgeons. The books clinical strengths will make it an invaluable working tool. Definitive resource on difficult to treat epilepsies Covers manifestation, consequences and treatment Major section on surgical treatment of focal epilepsy Complete coverage of paediatric diagnosis and treatment Special "Case Reports" give practical case histories to illustrate clinical points International line up of contributors
