Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Techniques: Controversies and Evidence offers clinicians a roadmap for navigating the complex decision-making process involved in selecting surgical interventions for children with drug-resistant epilepsy. Over the last decade, the landscape of pediatric epilepsy surgery has undergone substantial transformation, marked by the introduction of several emerging technologies that are now supported by an expanding body of evidence, yet leading to a wide range of treatment practices. This book addresses several decision-making dichotomies in pediatric epilepsy surgery, both in terms of established and novel surgical modalities and techniques. The book explores long-standing debated topics, such as the relative benefits of disconnective compared to resective strategies, the utility of surgical adjuncts like intra-operative electrocorticography, as well as rationales for different surgical approaches, namely selective amygdalo-hippocampectomy versus anteromesial temporal lobectomy. Further, it addresses dichotomies between traditional approaches and contemporary modalities, such as microsurgical resection versus laser interstitial thermal therapy. Chapters also offer comparisons of modern technologies, such as different neuromodulation strategies, including vagus nerve stimulation, deep brain stimulation, and responsive neurostimulation. This book provides readers with the relevant scientific literature and expert commentary to inform evidence-based approaches to surgical care in pediatric drug-resistant epilepsy.

Neurologic Channelopathies

Neurological Channelopathies, Volume 203 begins with an introductory overview highlighting common mechanistic themes that cut across different CNS and PNS presentations, but that also have potential for common treatment approaches, considering classification, genetics, and fundamental physiology of ion channels. Subsequent chapters present a detailed consideration of all genetic and immunological channelopathies. Each chapter considers Pathophysiological underpinnings - genetic or immunological; Clinical presentations; Diagnostic approach; and Treatment and management.In the last 15 years, a combination of detailed clinical, genetic, molecular electrophysiological, and immunological research has combined to result in a deep understanding of a subgroup of neurological diseases spanning the central and peripheral nervous system and which have become known collectively as the Neurological Channelopathies. Although it was originally considered that significant ion channel dysfunction would not be compatible with life, we now know this is often not the case, although severe disease can often be the result. Given these major advances, it is now the right time to combine this knowledge into a single HCN volume dedicated to the topics at hand.

La survenue brutale d’un déficit neurologique oriente toujours vers la réalisation en urgence d’une imagerie du système nerveux central par scanner ou IRM. Cet examen est crucial pour la prise en charge thérapeutique du patient. Ce nouveau volume de la collection des « Syllabus de la SFR »(Société française de radiologie) et de la SFNR (Société française de neuroradiologie) propose ainsi un état de l’art de l’imagerie des urgences neuroradiologiques.Cet ouvrage propose toute la sémiologie à connaître afin de pouvoir proposer la gamme diagnostique des urgences à rechercher. Il donne les clés pour privilégier la technique d’exploration la plus pertinente. Après un rappel des protocoles d’exploration en fonction des urgences, ou encore des éléments en vue de mieux comprendre la neuroradiologie interventionnelle, sont ainsi évoqués, entre autres, les accidents vasculaires cérébraux, les urgences traumatiques, infectieuses, métaboliques et toxiques, celles en fonction des régions (médullaire, orbitaire, etc.) ou en fonction des traitements sans oublier les spécificités pédiatriques, gériatriques et psychiatriques.Richement illustré et complet, présenté de façon didactique et rédigé par les meilleurs experts en neuro-imagerie diagnostique et interventionnelle, cet ouvrage constitue la référence actuelle sur le sujet. Il est indispensable pour tous les radiologues confrontés aux urgences neuroradiologiques (vacations scanners ou IRM, permanence des soins, télémédecine) ainsi que pour les neurologues et neurochirurgiens qui prennent en charge ces patients.

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Neurological Diseases (HSCT), Volume 201 provides the latest information on what has been evaluated as a possible therapeutic tool in severe autoimmune diseases for the last 20 years. In the neurological field, HSCT has been widely investigated for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and evidence is accumulating about its potential use in neuromyelitis optica, stiff person syndrome, myasthenia gravis, and many immune neuropathies. Besides their strong clinical relevance, studies on HSCT in neurological diseases have contributed to new insights on the pathological mechanisms underlying CNS autoimmunity, hence this volume summarizes that research.

Learning Deep Brain Stimulation Management through Clinical Cases reviews the clinical practice of applying deep brain stimulation (DBS) to patients with movement disorders. The book explores the cardinal aspects of applying DBS in diverse movement disorders based on patient’s needs. Every case answers all questions, providing case descriptions and step-by-step procedures for optimal replication. Every chapter includes a clinical decision support system (CDSS) depicted in flowcharts that can be used for reference. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) uses electrical stimulation to regulate electrical signals in neural circuits to and from identified areas in the brain to improve movement symptoms.The management of DBS in a movement disorders can be challenging, optimizing patient journeys and grasping all clinical aspects of the highly technological therapy. Hence, this book provides the informaiton necessary to embrace new breakthroughs.
