Gelastic seizures are often associated with hypothalamic hamartomas. However, focal cortical dysplasias can also cause "laughing seizures", and such cases can be difficult to localize with EEG. This case report presents a 29-year-old woman who was successfully rendered free of gelastic seizures after resection of a frontal cortical dysplasia, localized through MRI and SPECT imaging.[Published with video sequences].
痴笑性癫痫常与下丘脑错构瘤相关。然而,局灶性皮质发育异常也可导致“发笑性癫痫”,且此类病例通过脑电图难以定位。本病例报告介绍了一名29岁女性,经磁共振成像(MRI)和单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT)成像定位后,切除额叶皮质发育异常灶,成功治愈了痴笑性癫痫。[随视频序列发表]
