Summary

This study details an awake craniotomy for a patient with intractable seizures caused by a temporal lobe cavernoma. Intraoperative electrocorticography guided the surgery, aiming for complete resection and seizure control.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neurology
  • Vascular Malformations

Background:

  • Cavernomas are intracranial vascular malformations, comprising 8-15% of cases.
  • Seizures are the most common symptom associated with cavernomas.
  • Complete resection offers a cure but is challenging in eloquent brain areas.

Observation:

  • A 53-year-old male presented with intractable seizures.
  • The patient had a left posterior temporal lobe cavernoma.
  • An awake craniotomy with electrocorticography was performed.

Findings:

  • The surgical team monitored seizure activity during the procedure.
  • This allowed for precise identification and resection of epileptogenic foci.
  • The goal was to achieve complete cavernoma removal and seizure freedom.

Implications:

  • Awake craniotomy with intraoperative monitoring is a viable strategy for temporal lobe cavernomas.
  • This approach can improve outcomes for patients with intractable epilepsy.
  • It highlights the importance of tailored surgical techniques for complex neurovascular cases.
