Abstract
A 7-year-old boy with a left temporal lobe tumor and Landau-Kleffner syndrome (acquired aphasia and epilepsy) who improved dramatically after surgery is reported from the New York Hospital-Cornell University Medical Center.
Highlights
CBZ cardiotoxicity is rare, an echocardiogram is recommended in patients with tuberous sclerosis treated with carbamazepine, and cardiac rhythm should be carefully monitored
ICTAL SPECT IN LOCALIZING EPILEPTOGENESIS Ictal single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was used successfully in the localization of an epileptic focus in two children, ages 9 and 7 years, with intractable epilepsy reported from the University of Alabama at Birmingham Epilepsy Center
TEMPORAL LOBE TUMOR AND LANDAU-KLEFFNER SYNDROME A 7-year-old boy with a left temporal lobe tumor and Landau-Kleffner syndrome who improved dramatically after surgery is reported from the New York Hospital-Cornell University Medical Center
Summary
TEMPORAL LOBE TUMOR AND LANDAU-KLEFFNER SYNDROME A 7-year-old boy with a left temporal lobe tumor and Landau-Kleffner syndrome (acquired aphasia and epilepsy) who improved dramatically after surgery is reported from the New York Hospital-Cornell University Medical Center. ICTAL SPECT IN LOCALIZING EPILEPTOGENESIS Ictal single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was used successfully in the localization of an epileptic focus in two children, ages 9 and 7 years, with intractable epilepsy reported from the University of Alabama at Birmingham Epilepsy Center. CT and initial MRIs were normal, and repeated EEG-video monitoring studies failed to localize the seizures.
