Cirugía en epilepsia refractaria debida a neurocisticercosis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Neurocysticercosis is one of the most frequent causes of epilepsy worldwide, with some cases going into refractoriness. For that reason, surgical treatment should be considered, particularly lesionectomy, with or without temporal lobectomy. CASE REPORTS: From our series of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy from 2008 to 2018, we selected all cases with one or more lesions suggestive of neurocysticercosis who underwent epilepsy surgery. Three patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria, with an average age of 39.33 year-old, two were female, epilepsy onset was at a mean age of 17.33 years. One case had multiple neurocysticercosis lesions and mesial temporal sclerosis, the other two cases had single neurocysticercosis lesions in the temporal region. In all cases, the epileptogenic zone was located in the temporal lobe. One patient underwent a temporal lobectomy, while the other two underwent lesionectomy. Pathology confirmed neurocysticercosis granuloma. All three cases remain seizure free. CONCLUSION: Evaluation of patients with neurocysticercosis-related refractory epilepsy for potential surgery is indicated, as this procedure can be quite successful.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
