SURGICAL TREATMENT OF MRI-NEGATIVE EPILEPSY (A REVIEW)

https://doi.org/10.17650/1683-3295-2019-21-2-76-84

Abstract

Removal of epileptogenic lesions is an effective way to treat patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. The result of surgical treatment depends on the correct detection of pathology, definition of its boundaries. No lesion on magnetic resonance imaging is not a contraindication to surgical treatment, but requires a survey. Each of the additional methods has its advantages and disadvantages. Сomprehensive examination, analysis and comparison of positron emission tomography, single-photon emission computed tomography, magnetoencephalography, scalp and invasive electroencephalography data can significantly improve the results of surgical treatment MRI-negative epilepsy patients. Clarification of the pre-surgical evaluation algorithm will allow to optimize the use of techniques.
