Abstract

Fazemos uma análise das alterações neuropatológicas encontradas em 300 casos consecutivos de cirurgia da epilepsia realizadas durante período de 6 anos. O material foi predominantemente de lobo temporal (70,33%), sendo a esclerose hipocampal o diagnóstico mais frequente (44%), seguido das neoplasias (15%) e dos distúrbios da migração neuronal (10%). Os tumores mais frequentes foram o ganglioglioma (42,22%) e tumor neuroepitelial disembrioplástico (20%). Segue revisão dos diagnósticos mais comuns em epilepsia baseados nessa série e relatados na literatura.We report histopathological findings in 300 consecutive surgical specimens from epilepsy surgery during 6 years. Our material was mainly from temporal lobe epilepsy (70.33%). In 44% the diagnosis was hippocampal sclerosis. There were tumors in 15% of cases and neuronal migration disorders in 10%. The most common tumors were gangliogliomas (42.22%) and dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (20%). We review the more frequent diagnosis in epilepsy surgery based on this series and comparing with literature.
