Nontumoral Amygdalar Enlargement in Tumoral Epilepsy
An 18-year-old left-handed African American male presented with a year-long history of seizures characterized by episodic palpitations, sweating, and agitation. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed an enhancing tumor in the right anterior entorhinal cortex with adjacent amygdalar enlargement. Interictal magnetoencephalography and video-electroencephalogram -confirmed lesional right temporal lobe epilepsy. The patient underwent a partial right anterior temporal lobectomy, with histopathology revealing WHO Grade 2 pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma with a BRAF V600 E mutation. The amygdala showed no tumor infiltration, confirming reactive hyperplasia rather than neoplastic involvement. This case underscores the importance of distinguishing tumor infiltration from benign seizure-related amygdalar enlargement in long-term epilepsy-associated tumors, usefully informing surgical strategy.
期刊介绍:
World Neurosurgery has an open access mirror journal World Neurosurgery: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The journal''s mission is to:
-To provide a first-class international forum and a 2-way conduit for dialogue that is relevant to neurosurgeons and providers who care for neurosurgery patients. The categories of the exchanged information include clinical and basic science, as well as global information that provide social, political, educational, economic, cultural or societal insights and knowledge that are of significance and relevance to worldwide neurosurgery patient care.
-To act as a primary intellectual catalyst for the stimulation of creativity, the creation of new knowledge, and the enhancement of quality neurosurgical care worldwide.
-To provide a forum for communication that enriches the lives of all neurosurgeons and their colleagues; and, in so doing, enriches the lives of their patients.
Topics to be addressed in World Neurosurgery include: EDUCATION, ECONOMICS, RESEARCH, POLITICS, HISTORY, CULTURE, CLINICAL SCIENCE, LABORATORY SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES, CLINICAL IMAGES, VIDEOS
