Ipsilateral trigeminal sensory responses to cortical stimulation by subdural electrodes. 1985

R P Lesser, and H Lüders, and G Klem, and D S Dinner, and H H Morris, and J Hahn

Twelve patients with medically intractable epilepsy had plates of chronic subdural electrodes placed over the lateral and basal cortical hemispheres during evaluations for surgical therapy. During cortical stimulation, ipsilateral sensations involving any of the branches of the trigeminal nerve were noted in the eye, face, and mouth. Some responses could have been due to dural or direct trigeminal nerve trunk stimulation, but others were probably due to electrical stimulation of trigeminal fibers accompanying the pial-arachnoidal vessels. These fibers had been demonstrated in animals, but not in humans.

D004827 Epilepsy A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy).

D001099 Arachnoid A delicate membrane enveloping the brain and spinal cord. It lies between the PIA MATER and the DURA MATER. It is separated from the pia mater by the subarachnoid cavity which is filled with CEREBROSPINAL FLUID. Arachnoid Mater,Arachnoid Maters,Arachnoids
D014276 Trigeminal Nerve The 5th and largest cranial nerve. The trigeminal nerve is a mixed motor and sensory nerve. The larger sensory part forms the ophthalmic, mandibular, and maxillary nerves which carry afferents sensitive to external or internal stimuli from the skin, muscles, and joints of the face and mouth and from the teeth. Most of these fibers originate from cells of the TRIGEMINAL GANGLION and project to the TRIGEMINAL NUCLEUS of the brain stem. The smaller motor part arises from the brain stem trigeminal motor nucleus and innervates the muscles of mastication.
