Algorithm of examination and treatment of
pharmacoresistent form of focal frontal lobe epilepsy
is suggested in this article on example of patient
management analysis and summarizing of literature
data. Patient was observed in the SVS Laboratory of
epilepsy, convulsive states study and family monitoring
named after V.M. Savinov. Routing Electroencephalography
and Magnetic Resonance Tomography
were conducted for patient many times, core
and reserve antiepileptic drugs were prescribed,
but there was no effect. After admission to the SVS
Clinic, it was suspected that patient has focal cortical
dysplasia on the basis of careful analysis of seizure
semiotics, conducted long-lasting Electroencephalography
video with fixation of ictal Electroencephalography,
determination of antiepileptic drug concentration
level. Diagnosis was confirmed and
patient was operated after conduction of high resolution
Magnetic Resonance Tomography with 3-Tesla
field capacity and thin-cut scanning program, functional
and spectroscopic MRT.
Appliance of suggested algorithm may help
doctors to avoid needless and less informative researches
with regards to severe forms of epilepsy.
