    Abstract : Rolandic epilepsy (RE) is the most common focal epilepsy syndrome in the pediatric age group with an onset between 3 and 13 years. The syndrome is defined by electro-clinically typical features and has been considered benign according to seizure remission before the age of 16 years. READ MORE

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

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

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  5. 3. Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Tractography in Epilepsy Surgery Candidates

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

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  6. 4. Effects of Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Ketogenic Diet on Quality of Life and Changes in EEG and Sleep

    Author : Tove Hallböök; Lund Pediatrik; []

    Abstract : When anti-epileptic drugs fail, and epilepsy surgery is found unfeasible or ineffective, there remains a group of at least 25% of children with epilepsy in whom seizure control cannot be achieved. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an adjunctive treatment for medically refractory epilepsy. READ MORE

  7. 5. Seizure and non-seizure outcomes after epilepsy surgery in selected patient groups

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; epilepsy surgery; pediatric; children; intellectual disability; seizure outcome; social outcome; employment; educational outcome; long-term;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses some understudied aspects of epilepsy surgery with special emphasis on children and adolescents. The specific aims were to analyse educational and employment outcomes after epilepsy surgery in childhood or adolescence (Paper I), to analyse long-term seizure outcomes after resective epilepsy surgery in patients with IQ ...
