Surgical Outcome in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex: A Multicenter Survey

Abstract: Summary:Multicenter, retrospective analysis of 70 subjects with TSC following surgery for relief of epilepsy revealed significant associations between younger age at seizure onset, present/prior history of infantile spasms, interictal focality (bilateral versus unilateral), and absence of residual postoperative predominant tuber, and poorer postoperative outcome (p < 0.01). Ictal multifocality, mental retardation, and discordant EEG and MRI data showed a negative trend toward outcome, but were not significant.

“…These include electroencephalography, PET imaging, ictal SPECT, and magnetoencephalography. 13,15,18,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] Each isolated technique had variable success to correctly identify the problematic cortical tuber. However, the favored approach is to use multiple complementary imaging modalities to accurately and confidently localize the epileptogenic focus before surgical resection.…”

“…Of central importance, pathological brain lesions of TSC particularly cortical tubers, have been strongly implicated in promoting or causing epilepsy. As focal malformations of cortical development, tubers may represent the source for the seizures, and surgical removal of tubers for the treatment of medically refractory epilepsy can reduce or eliminate seizures in TSC patients (Madhavan et al, 2007). However, it is often debated as to whether the seizures actually originate from within the tubers themselves or from the adjacent tissue surrounding the tubers.…”

“…Однако в течение длительного времени пациенты с множественными очагами пора-жения в двух полушариях не рассматривались как кан-дидаты для хирургического лечения; представлялось, что оно не может принести пользу этим пациентам в долгосрочной перспективе. Действительно, по дан-ным одного обзора [48], отмечалось снижение числа пациентов без эпилептических приступов при сравне-нии показателей наблюдения в течение  2 лет (64,5 %, класс I по Engel) с показателями наблюдения в тече-ние > 2 лет (43,6 %), но это различие не достигало ста-тистической значимости в рамках многовариантного анализа. По данным авторов из Пекина [46], эпилеп-тические приступы отсутствовали у 72 % пациентов через 1 год наблюдения, у 60 % -по прошествии 2 лет и у 54,5 % -через 5 лет наблюдения.…”

“…У 71 из 177 пациентов выполняли фокальные, у 74 -долевые, а у 16 -мультилобарные резекции. По дан-ным другого метаанализа, 53 % пациентов соответст-вовали классу I исходов по Engel, а 11 % -классу II [48]. В обоих исследованиях продолжительность эпи-лепсии и количество туберов не оказывали влияния на исход лечения эпилептических приступов.…”
