Epilepsy is a good medicine is a good operation

summary

Epilepsy, commonly known as "epilepsy" or "epilepsy", is a chronic disease of brain neurons sudden abnormal discharge, which leads to transient brain dysfunction. This disease has a great impact on the human body, seriously affecting our lives. So epilepsy medicine is good surgery is good? I believe that many patients with epilepsy are also very concerned, let's learn about it together.

Epilepsy is a good medicine is a good operation

1. At present, drug therapy is not the best way to treat epilepsy, because drug therapy can only inhibit the excitation of brain cells, and can not repair neuron cells, and taking drugs for a long time will lead to a serious decline in memory, slow reaction, decreased intelligence, liver and kidney function damage and other hazards, side effects are too big, so it is not recommended to use drug therapy, surgery is recommended From the root to achieve the effect of the treatment of epilepsy, completely eliminate seizures.

2. Here is the surgical treatment of epilepsy: temporal lobectomy is the most common and successful operation for patients with epilepsy or imaging lesions in one side of the anterior temporal lobe. The standard anterior temporal lobectomy usually resected 4.5-6.5 cm behind the temporal pole. The success rate of epilepsy control is as high as 80% with few complications. The common complications are: quadrant vision loss or vision hemianopia, transient or persistent hemiplegia, intracranial infection, epidural hematoma, transient Ⅲ, Ⅳ cranial nerve palsy, naming aphasia, memory impairment and so on. The mortality of standard temporal lobectomy is less than 1%.

3. Most of the lesions of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy after selective amygdalohippocampal resection originate from amygdala, hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus. Removal of these structures can control epilepsy. In 1958, Paolo first reported selective amygdalohippocampal resection via transcortical approach with good results. In 1975, yasargi performed selective amygdalohippocampal resection via lateral fissure, which removed the amygdala, anterior part of hippocampus and part of parahippocampal gyrus. Olivier reviewed 369 cases of selective amygdalohippocampal resection. 67% of the patients had seizures completely disappeared, 11% had seizures only once or twice a year, 15% had seizures reduced by at least 90%, and only 8% had no effect.

matters needing attention

The diet is mainly light and easy to digest food, with more vegetables and fruits. Eat regularly, eat every meal on time, avoid hunger and overeating. It is very important to form good living habits, rest on time and get enough sleep.
