Medial frontal epilepsy: histological, histochemical, and ultrastructural study. Preliminary observations. 1979

J Vaquero, and S Oya, and M Manrique, and J Buján, and A P Lozano, and G Bravo

The authors have studied the histological, histochemical, and ultrastructural aspects of eight corticectomies of epileptogenic foci in the medial surfaces of frontal lobes. In all cases they were able to see more gliosis and fewer neurons than normal. The shape and number of dendritic spines were thought to be normal with the Golgi-Cox method. The histochemical study showed an increment of activity of Glucose-6-Phosphatase, Glucose-6-Phosphatedehydrogenase, adenosintriphosphatase, and acid phosphatase. The electron microscope showed, in every case, a variety of changes, among which the authors can point to perivascular lipid accumulation, and an increase of lipofuscin bodies in the cytoplasm of pyramidal cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008062 Lipofuscin A naturally occurring lipid pigment with histochemical characteristics similar to ceroid. It accumulates in various normal tissues and apparently increases in quantity with age.
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
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).
