Research progress on pathology of intractable epilepsy
Abstract
With increased surgical operation samples of intractable epilepsy, there are sufficient cases for neuropathological study. Some new studies and consensus on classification of malformations of cortical development or hippocampal sclerosis were proposed recently. Moreover, researches using molecular and genetic methods have provided new opinions for disease spectrum and pathogenesis of epilepsy associated lesions. In the next few years, further studies on the molecular pathology and epileptogenesis of the epileptic foci are necessary.
