According to information posted on MApN’s Facebook page, the intervention lasted six hours. “At the end of last year, minimally invasive interventions related to epilepsy surgery broke a new barrier. The case we present in the national premiere is that of a 49-year-old patient who suffered an ischemic stroke. grand mal and epileptic seizures since childhood,” the source said

“When he got to the medical team, the seizure frequency was about 3-4 seizures a week. A team of neuroepileptologists developed an epilepsy surgery plan that involved resection of the temporal pole, amygdala, and hippocampus. If the plan was wrong, the patient would have serious memory disorders, which could seriously affect his quality of life. It was determined that the best option for this case was an approach not previously used in Romania, through an incision used purely in oculoplastic surgery, at the level of the left eyelid,” the press release said.

The preparation was carried out in advance with the help of three-dimensional reconstructions and was practiced repeatedly both in a virtual environment and in specialized autopsy courses held in Barcelona, ​​Spain, explains MApN.

“Thus, three months after the intervention, the frequency of attacks has decreased from three to four attacks per week to…none in three months! The definition of a ‘cured case’ is the absence of attacks for two years after the intervention, during which time the patient is under close observation under the supervision of the neuroepileptological team,” the ministry also said in a statement.
