Arteries of the Lower Limbs

178
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease marked by recurrent, unpredictable seizures. These seizures are caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain, leading to behavior, sensation, or consciousness alterations. They can also cause transient impairment of awareness, interfering with daily activities.
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...

Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Epilepsy surgery effectively controls seizures in drug-resistant epilepsy.
  • A gap exists in referring patients for video-electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring and surgical evaluation.
  • The Canadian Appropriateness of Epilepsy Surgery (CASES) online tool aids physician referrals for refractory epilepsy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the CASES tool's utility in identifying epilepsy surgery candidates.
  • To facilitate clinical decision-making for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional analysis using the CASES platform.
  • 211 patients from an Epilepsy Clinic in Porto Alegre, Brazil, were evaluated over 3 months.
  • Data collected from medical records and clinical appointments.

Main Results:

  • 59.6% of patients were identified as potential candidates for video-EEG monitoring and surgical evaluation.
  • Seizure frequency, number of antiseizure medications (ASMs) trialed, and adverse effects were associated with recommendations.
  • CASES demonstrated potential in guiding video-EEG and surgical referral recommendations.

Conclusions:

  • The CASES tool shows significant potential for guiding video-EEG monitoring and epilepsy surgery referrals.
  • This tool may improve patient treatment and outcomes.
  • CASES could contribute to cost savings in epilepsy management.
