OBJECTIVE Gelastic seizure (GS) also known as "gelastic epilepsy" is a rare type of seizure associated with several different conditions such as tumors--hypothalamic hamartromas, tuberous sclerosis, hemangiomas, post infectious foci, cortical temporal dysplasia. We report one case of this rare

Surgical treatment of a neonate with refractory seizures secondary to congenital giant cell astrocytoma: case report and literature review.

Only registered users can translate articles

Congenital brain tumours are rare. They account for 0.5% to 1.9% of intracranial tumours in childhood and have an incidence of 0.34 per million live births. Most congenital brain tumours are neuro-ectodermal tumours and medulloblastomas; giant cell astrocytoma and other tuberous sclerosis-related

Late recurrence of intractable epilepsy associated with MRI-occult pilocytic astrocytoma in the temporal lobe nine years after initial removal: a case report with surgical and late-seizure recurrence observations.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 28-year-old male who presented a relapse of intractable epilepsy consisting of complex partial seizures with occasional secondary generalizations at the age of 26, had undergone removal of a left mesial temporal lobe tumor at another hospital at 18 years old.

Effect of cranial irradiation on seizure frequency in adults with low-grade astrocytoma and medically intractable epilepsy.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report the effect of cranial irradiation on seizure frequency in five adults with unresected (biopsy-proven) cerebral hemisphere low-grade astrocytoma and medically intractable epilepsy. Seizures were refractory to standard antiepileptic drugs for 7 months to 27 years. Treatment with 5,400 cGy to

Seizure-Induced Increased 18F-DOPA Uptake in a Child With Diffuse Astrocytoma and Transient Brain MRI Abnormalities Related to Status Epilepticus.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report the finding of increased F-DOPA uptake in the brain parenchyma surrounding a temporoparietal low-grade diffuse astrocytoma and corresponding to transient seizure-induced MRI abnormalities. There was concomitant markedly increased tumoral uptake. This F-DOPA PET phenomenon may represent

Factors influencing seizures in adult patients with supratentorial astrocytic tumors.

Only registered users can translate articles

Seizures and epilepsy in adults are important and increasingly common clinical problems. Despite this, the investigation of seizures in adults with astrocytic tumors remains a grey area. The incidence and influencing factors of preoperative and postoperative seizures were evaluated in 101 patients
