  • Advances in surgical treatment of early-infantile development epileptic encephalopathy

    Severe psychomotor developmental delay resulting from early postnatal (within 3 months) seizures can be diagnosed as Early-Infantile Developmental and Epileptic encephalopathies (EIDEE). Its primary etiologies include structural, hereditary, metabolic and etc. The main pathogenesis may be related to the inhibition of normal physiological activity of the brain by abnormal electrical activity and the damage of the brain neural network. Ohtahara syndrome and Early Myoclonic Encephalopathy (EME) are typical types of EIDEE. The principle of treatment is to improve the cognitive and developmental function by controlling frequent seizures. When the seizure is difficult to control with drugs, surgical evaluation should be performed as soon as possible, and surgical treatment is the first choice for patients suitable for surgery. The types of surgery can be divided into excision surgery, dissociation surgery, neuromodulation surgery and etc. The current status of surgical treatment of EIDEE was described, and the curative effect of surgical treatment was explored, so as to help clinicians choose appropriate treatment methods.
