Epilepsy is a common chronic seizure disorder.
General
- Epilepsy = seizures that are "idiopathic", i.e. no brain tumour, no mass lesion, no brain injury.
- Most common form: temporal lobe epilepsy.[1]
Etiology
- Many.
- Cortical dysplasia.
- Hamartia.
- Stroke.
- Infection.
- Head trauma.
Syndromic:
Tumour:
- Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour.[2]
- Ganglioglioma.[3]
- Isomorphic astrocytoma.
Types
Features:[4]
- Temporal lobe epilepsy
- Mesial temporal sclerosis = scarring of the medial temporal lobe.
- Involves: hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus and amygdala.
- Granule cell dispersion
Hamartia
- Small collection of ectopic glioneuronal cells.
- Morpholology resembling oligodendroglial-like cells. [5]
- Mostly amygdala, less common in hippocampus or temporal lobe.
- Can coexist with focal cortical dysplasia.
Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD)
- Localized malformations of the cortex.
- Frequently associated with epilepsy in children.
- Includes cortical dyslamination, cytoarchitectural changes and white matter abnormalities.
- Current consensus: ILAE classification scheme 2011 [6](based on previous classification by Palmini 2004):
- Type I FCD (focal)
- Ia: Abnormal radial cortical lamination.
- Ib: Abnormal tangential cortical lamination.
- Ic: Abnormal radial and tangential cortical lamination.
- Type II FCD (focal)
- IIa: Presence of dysmorphic neurons.
- IIb: Presence of dysmorphic neurons and balloon cells.
- Type III FCD (associated with other lesion)
- IIIa: FCD associated with hippocampal sclerosis.
- IIIb: FCD adjacent to a brain tumor.
- IIIc: FCD adjacent to vascular malformation.
- IIIc: FCD associated with previous injury (trauma, inflammation...).
Dysmorphic neurons in FCD (HE)
Heterotopic neurons (NeuN)
Hippocampal sclerosis
- Most frequent histopathology in temporal lobe epilepsy (33% of all epilepsy surgery specimen).
- ILAE classification for hippocampus specimen:[7]
- ILAE type 1: cell loss predominantly in CA1 and CA4 sectors.
- ILAE type 2: predominant CA1 neuron loss and gliosis.
- ILAE type 3: CA4 predominant neuronal cell loss and gliosis.
Clinic: ILAE type 1: benefit from epilepsy surgery.
Notes:
- Gliosis withot neuronal loss is not considered hippocampal sclerosis.
Granule cell dispersion
- Affects dentate gyrus.
- Observed in up to 40% specimen with hippocampal sclerosis.
- Clinico-pathological classification:[8]
- Granule cell pathology (GCP) Type 1: Substantial granule cell loss.
- Granule cell pathology (GCP) Type 2: Cell dispersion, ectopic neurons or clusters of neurons in the molecular layer or bi-lamination.
Clinic:
- Association with longer epilepsy duration.
DDx:
- Epilepsy.
- Dementia.
Mild Malformation of Cortical Development with Oligodendroglial Hyperplasia
- Abbreviated: MOGHE [9].
- Frontal lobe.
- Nonlesional (3.7% of epilepsy case).
- Increase cellularity of Olig2-, and PDGFR-alpha-immunoreactive oligodendroglia.
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy
- Abbreviated SUDEP.
Diagnosis:
- Negative autopsy.
- History of epilepsy.
Epidemiology:[10]
- Typically poorly controlled epilepsy.
- Incidence: 0.09-9 per 1000 patient-years.
