- W2762548327 abstract "OBJECTIVE Seizure onset within the insula is increasingly recognized as a cause of intractable epilepsy. Surgery within the insula is difficult, with considerable risks, given the rich vascular supply and location near critical cortex. MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (LiTT) provides an attractive treatment option for insular epilepsy, allowing direct ablation of abnormal tissue while sparing nearby normal cortex. Herein, the authors describe their experience using this technique in a large cohort of children undergoing treatment of intractable localization-related epilepsy of insular onset. METHODS The combined epilepsy surgery database of Cook Children’s Medical Center and Dell Children’s Hospital was queried for all cases of insular onset epilepsy treated with LiTT. Patients without at least 6 months of follow-up data and cases preoperatively designated as palliative were excluded. Patient demographics, presurgical evaluation, surgical plan, and outcome were collected from patient charts and described. RESULTS Twenty patients (mean age 12.8 years, range 6.1–18.6 years) underwent a total of 24 LiTT procedures; 70% of these patients had normal findings on MRI. Patients underwent a mean follow-up of 20.4 months after their last surgery (range 7–39 months), with 10 (50%) in Engel Class I, 1 (5%) in Engel Class II, 5 (25%) in Engel Class III, and 4 (20%) in Engel Class IV at last follow-up. Patients were discharged within 24 hours of the procedure in 15 (63%) cases, in 48 hours in 6 (24%) cases, and in more than 48 hours in the remaining cases. Adverse functional effects were experienced following 7 (29%) of the procedures: mild hemiparesis after 6 procedures (all patients experienced complete resolution or had minimal residual dysfunction by 6 months), and expressive language dysfunction after 1 procedure (resolved by 3 months). CONCLUSIONS To their knowledge, the authors present the largest cohort of pediatric patients undergoing insular surgery for treatment of intractable epilepsy. The patient outcomes suggest that LiTT can successfully treat intractable seizures originating within the insula and offers an attractive alternative to open resection. This is the first description of LiTT applied to insular epilepsy and represents one of only a few series describing the use of LiTT in children. The results indicate that seizure reduction after LiTT compares favorably to that after conventional open surgical techniques." @default.
