Insights into the sequence of structural consequences of convulsive status epilepticus: a longitudinal MRI studyGaolang Gong
Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Epilepsia 49:1941-5. 2008..Our findings provide evidence that status epilepticus can induce permanent hippocampal damage with the delayed timing of the structural changes being consistent with programmed cell death...

Comprehensive Epilepsy Program, University of Alberta Hospital, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Pediatr Neurol 44:117-21. 2011..Overall, no significant change occurred in neuropsychologic parameters examined after surgery. Epilepsy surgery in childhood offers excellent surgical outcomes for seizure control, and does not adversely affect intelligence quotient...
