Study
  • Condition: Temporal Encephalocele (TE)/Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE)
  • Journal: Epileptic disorders : international epilepsy journal with videotape
  • Treatment Used: Magnetic Resonance-Guided Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (MRgLITT)
  • Number of Patients: 2
  • Published —
This study evaluated the effectiveness of magnetic resonance-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (places a laser probe into the tumor with real-time monitoring of the extent of thermal ablation by magnetic resonance thermometry, allowing targeted thermal injury to the lesion; MRgLITT) for the treatment of temporal lobe epilepsy (recurrent, unprovoked focal seizures that originate in the temporal lobe; TLE) caused by temporal encephalocele (a sac-like protrusion of the brain and the membranes that cover it through an opening in the skull; TE).
