Objectives: To describe and discuss the case of an adolescent patient with sleep-triggered “pure” salivatory seizures associated with a subtle cortical malformation of the right parietal cortex. Case report: Herein, we report a 17-year-old female who started to present salivatory paroxysms, which occasionally secondarily generalized, shortly after falling asleep, at the age of eight years. Video-electroencephalographic monitoring with scalp electrodes failed to show any epileptiform activity during the several recorded clinical events. Brain MRI and curvilinear reconstruction revealed, in the three orthogonal planes, a subtle cortical thickening, limited to a single gyrus in the right parietal cortex, suggestive of a focal cortical malformation. After antiepileptic drug therapy was optimized, the patient became seizure-free. Conclusion: An epilepsy diagnosis should be pursued in patients presenting isolated, paroxysmal hypersalivation, despite possible negative scalp EEG studies.展开更多
目的探讨难治性癫痫病例相关的临床病理学特征。方法按照2011年International League Against Epilepsy(ILAE)分类标准对2008年6月至2012年12月在首都医科大学三博脑科医院功能神经外科接受致痫灶手术的822例患者标本进行病理学特征...目的探讨难治性癫痫病例相关的临床病理学特征。方法按照2011年International League Against Epilepsy(ILAE)分类标准对2008年6月至2012年12月在首都医科大学三博脑科医院功能神经外科接受致痫灶手术的822例患者标本进行病理学特征回顾分析。结果822例患者平均发病年龄9.9岁,平均病程11.9年。癫痫发作形式以复杂部分性发作为主;病理组织学发现轻微皮层发育不良33例(4.01%)、局灶性皮层发育不良(FCD)690例(83.94%)及其他99例(单纯海马硬化39例、囊肿20例、Sturge—Weber综合征19例、结节硬化8例、无显著病理变化6例、脑回畸形5例、错构瘤2例)。FCD中,Ⅰ型106例,Ⅱ型91例,Ⅲ型493例(111a型160例、11Ib型106例、Ⅲc型26例、Ⅲd型201例)。结论FCDIIId型是引起难治性癫痫最多的病理类型,其最主要病因是由于围产期缺氧/缺血导致局部脑组织瘢痕形成;其次是单纯FCD(I型和Ⅱ型);FCDⅢa型和FCDⅢb型分别位居其后。将单纯FCD与FCDⅢ型分开,并将FCDⅢ型进一步细分,更好地定义了大脑皮层分层紊乱,更加清晰直观地反映出难治性癫痫的致病因素,为进一步诊疗提供参考。展开更多
