INTRODUCTION: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT) and responsive neurostimulation (RNS) of the hippocampus are the predominant approaches to brain stimulation for treating mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE). Both are similarly effective at reducing seizures in drug-resistant patients, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. In rare cases where it is clinically indicated to use RNS and DBS simultaneously, ambulatory electrophysiology from RNS may provide the opportunity to measure the effects of ANT DBS in the putative seizure onset zone and identify biomarkers associated with clinical improvement...

INTRODUCTION: Directional deep brain stimulation (DBS) leads have become widely used in the past decade. Understanding the asymmetric stimulation provided by directional leads requires precise knowledge of the exact orientation of the lead in respect to its anatomical target. Recently, the DiODe algorithm was developed to automatically determine the orientation angle of leads from the artifact on postoperative computed tomography (CT) images. However, manual DiODe results are user-dependent...

INTRODUCTION: Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy is an incision-less ablative technique used to treat medically refractory tremor. Although intracerebral hemorrhage has not been reported with MRgFUS thalamotomy for the treatment of movement disorders, clinicians commonly interrupt active blood thinning medications prior to the procedure or offer gamma knife radiosurgery instead. However, MRgFUS uses focal thermoablation, and bleeding risk is likely minimal...

Three studies have reported trigeminal hypesthesia following temporal lobe resection. However, no cases of hypesthesia have been reported following laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT). We report the first case of trigeminal hypesthesia as a complication of otherwise successful LITT in a patient with drug-resistant epilepsy. A 58-year-old male with drug-resistant epilepsy secondary to a left parahippocampal gyrus multinodular and vacuolating neuronal tumor underwent biopsy and MRI-guided LITT. Immediately postoperatively, the patient reported hypesthesia in the left V3 distribution, including inside the mouth and ear...

BACKGROUND: Advances in MRI technology have increased interest in direct targeting for deep brain stimulation (DBS). Various imaging sequences have been shown to provide increased contrast of numerous common DBS targets, such as T1-weighted, Fast Gray Matter Acquisition T1 Inversion Recovery (FGATIR), gray matter nulled, and Edge-Enhancing Gradient Echo (EDGE); however, the continual increase in the number of necessary sequences has led to an increase in imaging time, which is undesirable...

INTRODUCTION: The size of vestibular schwannomas (VS) is a major factor guiding the initial decision of treatment and the definition of tumor control or failure. Accurate measurement and standardized definition are mandatory; yet no standard exist. Various approximation methods using linear measures or segmental volumetry have been reported. We reviewed different methods of volumetry and evaluated their correlation and agreement using our own historical cohort. METHODS: We selected patients treated for sporadic VS by Gammaknife radiosurgery (GKRS) in our department...

INTRODUCTION: Computational models of deep brain stimulation (DBS) have become common tools in clinical research studies that attempt to establish correlations between stimulation locations in the brain and behavioral outcome measures. However, the accuracy of any patient-specific DBS model depends heavily upon accurate localization of the DBS electrodes within the anatomy, which is typically defined via co-registration of clinical CT and MRI datasets. Several different approaches exist for this challenging registration problem, and each approach will result in a slightly different electrode localization...

INTRODUCTION: Transcranial magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery (TcMRgFUS) has the advantage of allowing immediate evaluation of therapeutic effects after each sonication and intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to visualize the lesion. When the image shows that the lesion has missed the planned target and the therapeutic effects are insufficient, the target of the subsequent ablation can be finely adjusted based on the image. The precision of this adjustment is determined by the image quality...

Responsive neurostimulation (RNS) has well-established efficacy in patients with identifiable seizure foci. Emerging evidence suggests the feasibility of expanding this treatment to patients with nonfocal or multifocal epileptic profiles with thalamic targeting. Our institution performed two successful implantations of thalamic RNS (tRNS) targeting the centromedian nucleus of the thalamus (CMT), and 1-year postoperative outcomes are provided. Additionally, a literature review of all reported tRNS was conducted...

Magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a rapidly developing technique used for tremor relief in tremor-predominant Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor that has demonstrated successful results. Here, we describe the neuropathological findings in a woman who died from a fall 10 days after successful MRgFUS for tremor-predominant PD. Histological analysis demonstrates the characteristic early postoperative MRI findings including 3 distinct zones on T2-weighted imaging: (1) a hypointense core, (2) a hyperintense region with hypointense rim, and (3) a slightly hyperintense, poorly marginated surrounding area...

INTRODUCTION: Essential tremor (ET) is one of the most prevalent movement disorders in adults and may be highly disabling for some. Magnetic resonance image-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRIgFUS) has been shown to control tremor efficaciously and with acceptable risk. To date, paresthesia and ataxia are the most common adverse effects (AE). Nevertheless, the impact of MRIgFUS thalamotomy on balance is not well established. METHODS: Thirty-two patients underwent MRIgFUS for ET and completed 6 months of follow-up...

INTRODUCTION: Microvascular decompression (MVD) is an efficacious neurosurgical intervention for patients with medically intractable neurovascular compression syndromes. However, MVD may occasionally cause life-threatening or altering complications, particularly in patients unfit for surgical operations. Recent literature suggests a lack of association between chronological age and surgical outcomes for MVD. The Risk Analysis Index (RAI) is a validated frailty tool for surgical populations (both clinical and large database)...
