Magnetic resonance imaging revealed bilateral periventricular nodular heterotopia in … The foregoing terms may include synonyms, similar disorders,… When a 35-year-old presented with pharmacoresistant epilepsy, SEEG and cortico-cortical evoked potentials proved crucial in localizing a single focus and paving the way for seizure control through laser ablation. Postoperatively preservation of the visual fields was documented and the frequency of seizures was markedly reduced. Periventricular heterotopia is a condition in which the nerve cells (neurons) do not migrate properly during early development of the fetal brain. Until recently, however, it appeared that patients with periventricular nodular heterotopia (PNH) had far less hope of a good surgical outcome. Neurosurg Focus. Epilepsy associated with periventricular nodular heterotopia (PNH), a developmental malformation, is frequently drug-resistant and requires focal therapeutic intervention. National Library of Medicine Invasive EEG study is usually necessary to delineate the epileptogenic zone, but constructing an accurate hypothesis to define an appropriate electrode implantation scheme and the treatment is challenging. A neuronavigation-guided surgical resection of the epileptogenic area was performed leaving the heterotopia and the visual tract fibers intact. Background: Excellent epilepsy surgery outcomes are reported in patients with unilateral heterotopia, whereas for the bilateral cases, surgical outcomes are less favorable. Surgical treatment of focal epilepsy in the presence of periventricular nodular heterotopia (PVNH) poses a challenge, as the relative roles of the nodular tissue and the overlying cortex in the generation of seizures can be complex and variable. A neuronavigation-guided surgical resection of the epileptogenic area was performed leaving the heterotopia and the visual tract fibers intact. Periventricular nodular heterotopia: A challenge for epilepsy surgery. PNH consists of round nodular masses of normal-appearing neurons and glial cells with Although such surgery cannot reverse developmental disabilities, it may provide full or partial relief from seizures. Intracranial evaluation and laser ablation for epilepsy with periventricular nodular heterotopia. The right temporal lobe only was the intervention site in four patients (1, 2, 4 and 6). Surgery was offered for the encephalocele only, but the family refused any further investigations and treatment. Initial reports of resective surgery in patients with PNH suggested that poor outcomes could be expected by using standard surgical techniques. Up to now, invasive recordings were required for localization of epileptic activity and its correlation to heterotopia. Epub 2014 Sep 2.

What is periventricular heterotopia? Heterotopia (displacement from normal position) periventricular (sides of ventricles) is a rare genetic condition in which the fetus' (unborn baby's) nerve cells fail move to the correct part of the brain, causing seizure activity usually beginning during the teenage years. (2004) identified a de novo 7315C-A transversion in exon 45 of the FLNA gene (300017.0014), resulting in 2 aberrant transcripts. Watrin F, Manent JB, Cardoso C, Represa A. CNS Neurosci Ther.

Up to now, invasive recordings were required for localization of epileptic activity and its correlation to heterotopia. Periventricular (subependymal) nodular heterotopia (PNH) are malformations of cortical development (MCD) characterised by single or multiple nodules of grey matter adjacent to the lateral ventricular walls. The following case presentation reports on a non-invasive approach using magnetic source imaging (MSI) combined with intraoperative ECoG. Periventricular heterotopia is a condition in which nerve cells ( neurons) do not migrate properly during the early development of the fetal brain, from about the 6th week to the 24th week of pregnancy. doi: 10.1097/MD.0000000000017070.

The authors describe two unrelated individuals with fragile X syndrome (FXS) due to marked expansion and instability of the CGG trinucleotide repeats within the fragile X mental retardation 1 gene ( FMR1 ) and periventricular heterotopia (PH). Invasive investigations in previous studies showed that focal epileptic activity can be correlated predominantly either with one of the nodular heterotopia or with neocortical epileptogenic zones distant to the periventricular nodules. People with this condition typically develop recurrent seizures (epilepsy) beginning in mid-adolescence. Reading deficits correlate with cortical and subcortical volume changes in a genetic migration disorder. FOIA In general, gray matter heterotopia is fixed in both its occurrence and symptoms; that is, once symptoms occur, it does not tend to progress. Functional and resting-state characterizations of a periventricular heterotopic nodule associated with epileptogenic activity. In patient 8, with symmetrical bilateral nodular heterotopia, a left frontal corticectomy was performed without ablation of the periventricular nodular formation . 2005 Mar;128(Pt 3):641-51. doi: 10.1093/brain/awh388.
