    Abstract About one-third of epilepsy cases are refractory to medical therapy. During the past decades, the availability of surgical epilepsy interventions has substantially increased as therapeutic options for this group of patients. A wide range of surgical interventions and electrophysiologic neuromodulation techniques are available, including lesional resection, lobar resection, thermoablation, disconnection, multiple subpial transections, vagus nerve stimulation, responsive neurostimulation, and deep brain stimulation. The indications and imaging features of potential complications of the newer surgical interventions may not be widely appreciated, particularly if practitioners are not associated with comprehensive epilepsy centers. In this article, we review a wide range of invasive epilepsy treatment modalities with a particular focus on their postoperative imaging findings and complications. A state-of-the-art treatment algorithm provides context for imaging findings by helping the reader understand how a particular invasive treatment decision is made.

    Abstract Background: Differentiating gliomas and primary CNS lymphoma represents a diagnostic challenge with important therapeutic ramifications. Biopsy is the preferred method of diagnosis, while MR imaging in conjunction with machine learning has shown promising results in differentiating these tumors.
    Purpose: Our aim was to evaluate the quality of reporting and risk of bias, assess data bases with which the machine learning classification algorithms were developed, the algorithms themselves, and their performance.
    Data sources: Ovid EMBASE, Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and the Web of Science Core Collection were searched according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.
    Study selection: From 11,727 studies, 23 peer-reviewed studies used machine learning to differentiate primary CNS lymphoma from gliomas in 2276 patients.
    Data analysis: Characteristics of data sets and machine learning algorithms were extracted. A meta-analysis on a subset of studies was performed. Reporting quality and risk of bias were assessed using the Transparent Reporting of a multivariable prediction model for Individual Prognosis Or Diagnosis (TRIPOD) and Prediction Model Study Risk Of Bias Assessment Tool.
    Data synthesis: The highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (0.961) and accuracy (91.2%) in external validation were achieved by logistic regression and support vector machines models using conventional radiomic features. Meta-analysis of machine learning classifiers using these features yielded a mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.944 (95% CI, 0.898-0.99). The median TRIPOD score was 51.7%. The risk of bias was high for 16 studies.
    Limitations: Exclusion of abstracts decreased the sensitivity in evaluating all published studies. Meta-analysis had high heterogeneity.
    Conclusions: Machine learning-based methods of differentiating primary CNS lymphoma from gliomas have shown great potential, but most studies lack large, balanced data sets and external validation. Assessment of the studies identified multiple deficiencies in reporting quality and risk of bias. These factors reduce the generalizability and reproducibility of the findings.

    Abstract Objective: Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and depression are common comorbid disorders whose underlying shared neural network has yet to be determined. Although animal studies demonstrate a role for the dorsal bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (dBNST) in both seizures and depression, and human clinical studies demonstrate a therapeutic effect of stimulating this region on treatment-resistant depression, the role of the dBNST in depressed and nondepressed TLE patients is still unclear. Here, we tested the hypothesis that this structure is morphologically abnormal in these epilepsy patients, with an increased abnormality in TLE patients with comorbid depression.
    Methods: In this case-controlled study, 3-T structural magnetic resonance imaging scans were obtained from TLE patients with no depression (TLEonly), TLE patients with depression (TLEdep), and healthy control (HC) subjects. TLE subjects were recruited from the Yale University Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, diagnosed with the International League Against Epilepsy 2014 Diagnostic Guidelines, and confirmed by video-electroencephalography. Diagnosis of major depressive disorder was confirmed by a trained neuropsychologist through a Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition. The dBNST was delineated manually by reliable raters using Bioimage Suite software.
    Results: The number of patients and subjects included 35 TLEonly patients, 20 TLEdep patients, and 102 HC subjects. Both TLEonly and TLEdep patients had higher dBNST volumes compared to HC subjects, unilaterally in the left hemisphere in the TLEonly patients (p = .003) and bilaterally in the TLEdep patients (p < .0001). Furthermore, the TLEdep patients had a higher dBNST volume than the TLEonly patients in the right hemisphere (p = .02).
    Significance: Here, we demonstrate an abnormality of the dBNST in TLE patients, both without depression (left enlargement) and with depression (bilateral enlargement). Our results demonstrate this region to underlie TLE both with and without depression, implicating it as a target in treating the comorbidity between these two disorders.

    Abstract MR imaging plays a pivotal role in the evaluation of patients with epilepsy. With its high spatial resolution, excellent inherent soft tissue contrast, multiplanar imaging capability, and lack of ionizing radiation, MR imaging has emerged as a versatile diagnostic tool in the evaluation of patients with epilepsy. MR imaging not only identifies specific epileptogenic substrates but also determines specific treatment and predicts prognosis. Employing appropriate imaging protocols and reviewing the images in a systematic manner helps in the identification of subtle epileptogenic structural abnormalities. With future improvements in software, hardware, and post-processing methods, MR imaging should be able to throw more light on epileptogenesis and help physicians to better understand its structural basis.

    Abstract People with epilepsy face serious driving restrictions, determined using retrospective studies. To relate seizure characteristics to driving impairment, we aimed to study driving behavior during seizures with a simulator. Patients in the Yale New Haven Hospital undergoing video-electroencephalographic monitoring used a laptop-based driving simulator during ictal events. Driving function was evaluated by video review and analyzed in relation to seizure type, impairment of consciousness/responsiveness, or motor impairment during seizures. Fifty-one seizures in 30 patients were studied. In terms of seizure type, we found that focal to bilateral tonic-clonic or myoclonic seizures (5/5) and focal seizures with impaired consciousness/responsiveness (11/11) always led to driving impairment; focal seizures with spared consciousness/responsiveness (0/10) and generalized nonmotor (generalized spike-wave bursts; 1/19) usually did not lead to driving impairment. Regardless of seizure type, we found that seizures with impaired consciousness (15/15) or with motor involvement (13/13) always led to impaired driving, but those with spared consciousness (0/20) or spared motor function (5/38) usually did not. These results suggest that seizure types with impaired consciousness/responsiveness and abnormal motor function contribute to impaired driving. Expanding this work in a larger cohort could further determine how results with a driving simulator may translate into real world driving safety.

    Abstract Unlabelled: Lumbar spine surgery for spinal stenosis is a frequently performed procedure and was the fastest growing type of surgery in the US from 1980 to 2000. With increasing surgical invasiveness, postoperative complications also tend to be higher. Cross-sectional imaging techniques (CT and MRI) are more sensitive than radiographs and play an increasingly important role in evaluation of patients with lumbar spine surgery. Their use in patients with metallic implants is somewhat limited by artefacts, which can obscure pathology and decrease accuracy and reader confidence. Metal artefact reduction techniques have been developed, which can significantly improve image quality and enable early detection of postoperative complications. Complications can occur throughout postoperative course. Early complications include hardware displacement, incidental durotomy, postoperative collections-most commonly seroma, and less likely haematoma and/or infection. Incidental durotomy with CSF leak causing intracranial hypotension has characteristic MR brain findings and diagnosis of occult leak sites have been improved with use of dynamic CT myelography. Haematomas, even when compressing the thecal sac, are usually asymptomatic. Early infection, with nonspecific MR findings, can be diagnosed accurately using dual radiotracer studies. Delayed complications include loosening, hardware failure, symptomatic new or recurrent disc herniation, peri-/epidural fibrosis, arachnoiditis, and radiculitis.
    Teaching points: • CT and MRI play an increasingly important role in evaluation of patients with lumbar spine surgery • Complications can occur throughout the postoperative course and early detection is critical • Artefact reduction techniques can improve image quality for early and improved detection of complications.
