Seizure and cognitive outcomes after resection of glioneuronal tumors in children
Epilepsia Dec 01, 2017
Faramand AM, et al. - In this present study, the physicians identified factors affecting seizure and cognitive outcomes to analyze the group of patients with low-grade glioneuronal tumors (GNTs). Surgical tumor resection resulted in excellent postoperative seizure control in a high proportion of children who presented with epilepsy and GNTs. Complete resection was correlated with a higher chance of seizure freedom. They found an association between higher presurgical cognitive functioning and shorter duration of epilepsy prior to surgery and with older age at seizure onset. Given the high rate of eventual surgery, the early surgical intervention had to be considered in children with continuing seizures associated with GNTs.
