“…21 In many cases, there was limited tissue adjacent to the tumor available for examination and evaluation of coexistent pathology was not possible. Malformations of cortical development or cortical dysplasia were identified and classified according to a simplified version of what was described by Palmini et al 22 Due to overlap between the pathology of certain tumors and malformations of cortical development, the limited amount of tissue available for assessment in some cases, and the known lack of reproducibility in the classification (particularly in the Malformation of Cortical Development and Focal Cortical Dysplasia type-I categories; see Table 1), the Palmini et al classification was simplified to include only type-I and type-II forms. Table 1 summarizes the terminology and classification of malformations of cortical development and focal cortical dysplasia per Palmini et al and the classification used in this study.…”

“…Table 1 summarizes the terminology and classification of malformations of cortical development and focal cortical dysplasia per Palmini et al and the classification used in this study. 22 Mesial temporal sclerosis or hippocampal sclerosis was defined by a characteristic loss of neurons and gliosis in the hippocampal region, preferentially involving the dentate, CA4, CA3, and CA1 regions. 23 Hamartias were defined as collections of small neurons marked by scant cytoplasm and pericellular clearing.…”

“…Since the first description of the neuropathologic features of FCD provided by Taylor et al in 1971 [95], different FCD classification systems have been proposed [93,94,[96][97][98]. A task force of the Diagnostic Methods Commission of the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) has recently generated a new consensus classification of distinct FCD subtypes based on histopathological features [6].…”

“…6, 9-11 A displasia cortical focal (DCF) deve ser classificada, histopatologicamente, incluindo um espectro de anormalidades arquiteturais e celulares nas quais algumas formas apresentam perda da laminação cortical (tipo I DCF) e outras apresentam, além disso, neurônios displásicos e células em balão (tipo II DCF). 12 Estas duas formas foram melhor caracterizadas do ponto de vista clínico, neuropsicológico e especialmente de imagem, permitindo, frequentemente, uma antecipação diagnóstica in vivo das anormalidades histológicas. 13 No outro extremo estão as epilepsias causadas por lesões não desenvolvimentais.…”

RESuMOIntrodução: Há um interesse crescente nas relações entre sono e epilepsia incentivado pela compreensão de que existem interações potencialmente relevantes nas duas direções. Embora o papel do sono na hipersincronização e a crescente preocupação na geração de crises sejam bem conhecidos, o grau no qual o sono pode facilitar ou induzir a um fenômeno epileptogênico, nas epilepsias lesionais, permanece indefinido. As epilepsias lesionais parecem apresentar um mecanismo particular de epileptogenicidade e o esclarecimento do papel da macro e microarquitetura do sono pode auxiliar na antecipação e monitorização de fenômenos epilépticos relacionados ao sono, conforme a etiologia da epilepsia. Objetivo: revisar e discutir as relações entre sono e epilepsia na infância e adolescência relacionando as alterações estruturais do sono à etiologia da epilepsia. Métodos: revisão bibliográfica utilizando o banco de dados Medline, abrangendo os estudos publicados nos últimos quinze anos, com as palavras-chave (unitermos) sono e epilepsia. Conclusões: epilepsia refratária durante a infância parece influenciar a organização do sono principalmente naqueles pacientes com etiologia lesional. A definição do tipo de epilepsia pode ser importante na antecipação dos distúrbios de sono nesta população.unitermos: sono, epilepsia, displasia cortical, padrão cíclico alternante. ABSTRACT Evaluation of sleep architecture in children with refractory epilepsyIntroduction: There has been a growing interest in the relations between sleep and epilepsy, kindled by the realization that there are many potentially relevant two-way interactions. Even though the hyper-synchronizing role of sleep and its attending increase in the probability of seizure generation are well known, the degree to which sleep may facilitate or induce epileptogenic phenomena in lesional epilepsies remains unclear. The lesional epilepsies seems to have intrinsic epileptogenic properties and the knowledge about sleep macro and microarchiteture could help clinician to anticipate and monitor sleep-related epileptic phenomena according to the etiology of the epilepsy Objective: Discuss the relationship between sleep and epilepsy in childhood and adolescence. Methods: Literature review in journals indexed through Medline, from the last 15 years. Conclusion: Refractory epilepsy during childhood influences sleep organization mainly in patients with lesional etiology. The definition of the type of epilepsy is important to anticipate sleep disorders in this population.
