Using Functional Brain Networks, Epileptic Seizures Can Propagate

The seizures that affect people with temporal-lobe epilepsy usually start in a region of the brain called the hippocampus. But they are often able to involve other areas outside the temporal lobe, pro...

Facial nerve injury common after temporal artery biopsy

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Temporal artery biopsy (TAB) for suspected giant cell arteritis led to brow ptosis in almost one in six patients in a recent analysis, although most recovered fully.

Treatment of Refractory Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

To the Editor: Dr Engel and colleagues presented important additional evidence on the superiority of surgical therapy over antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in the treatment of refractory mesial temporal lob...

Giant cell arteritis can occur in the absence of a raised ESR

In their clinical review, Thapar and colleagues recommend measuring the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) if arteritis is suspected.1 However, giant cell arteritis can occur in the absence of a......

In a noisy environment, lip-reading can help us to better understand the person we are speaking to

(Medical Xpress)—In a noisy environment, lip-reading can aid understanding of a conversation. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences who have been investigati...

Epileptic seizures can propagate via anatomically connected networks in brain

The seizures that affect people with temporal-lobe epilepsy usually start in a region of the brain called the hippocampus.

Acute Bilateral Ischemia of Fingers: An Unusual Complication of Temporal Arteritis.

We describe the case of a patient with documented temporal arteritis, who presented two years into her course with acute digital ischemia, presumed secondary to small vessel vasculitis. To our knowled...

Long-term intellectual outcome after temporal lobe surgery in childhood.

Temporal lobe resection is an established treatment for medication-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy, which in recent years has increasingly been performed in children. However, little is known about t...

Headache and Temporal Arteritis: When to Suspect and How to Manage.

Temporal arteritis, also termed giant cell arteritis, is one of the vasculitides affecting large and medium sized cranial arteries, particularly of the carotid tree. Clinical manifestations may vary f...

Role of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of temporal arteritis.

BACKGROUND:: Temporal artery (TA) biopsy is the current standard for diagnosing temporal arteritis, but has limited sensitivity. Colour duplex ultrasonography is a newer, non-invasive method of diagno...

Temporal lobe epilepsy surgery: What is the best approach?

In the article, "Systematic review and meta-analysis of standard vs selective temporal lobe epilepsy surgery," Dr. Josephson and colleagues(1) analyzed information that might answer a very simple ques...
