The role of gamma knife surgery in the treatment of severe epilepsies
There is a strong rationale for investigation of the role of gamma knife radiosurgery in the treatment of medically intractable epilepsy. To explore this potential application, the current outcome and morbidity associated with established microsurgical treatment, as well as the associated advantages and disadvantages of open surgery, are reviewed. The preliminary evidence in support of radiosurgical treatment and the recent experience with gamma knife treatment for epilepsy associated with mesial temporal sclerosis, cavernous angioma, and hypothalamic hamartoma or other lesions are presented. The strengths and limitations of this application are discussed, and the challenges facing both microsurgical and radiosurgical approaches are considered. Gamma knife surgery can be a main approach among others in the armamentarium of epilepsy surgery. Although the benefits of comfort and reduced invasivity can be clearly perceived, larger series and long‐term follow up are still required in order to evaluate the future of this particular surgical approach.
期刊介绍:
Epileptic Disorders is the leading forum where all experts and medical studentswho wish to improve their understanding of epilepsy and related disorders can share practical experiences surrounding diagnosis and care, natural history, and management of seizures.
Epileptic Disorders is the official E-journal of the International League Against Epilepsy for educational communication. As the journal celebrates its 20th anniversary, it will now be available only as an online version. Its mission is to create educational links between epileptologists and other health professionals in clinical practice and scientists or physicians in research-based institutions. This change is accompanied by an increase in the number of issues per year, from 4 to 6, to ensure regular diffusion of recently published material (high quality Review and Seminar in Epileptology papers; Original Research articles or Case reports of educational value; MultiMedia Teaching Material), to serve the global medical community that cares for those affected by epilepsy.
