    Abstract Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding is being increasingly utilized for therapy of obesity in the United States. It is a relatively newer technique and little is known about neurologic complications resulting from this procedure. We present a case of disabling peripheral neuropathy occurring after gastric banding. While this type of complication has seen following older weight loss techniques, it has only rarely been documented following adjustable gastric banding. The patient was treated with adjustment of the lap band in combination with plasmapheresis. Plasmapheresis is a novel therapy for treatment of this type of neuropathy and resulted in significant improvement in the patients' strength and functioning.

    Weimer, Tracy / Boling, Warren / Palade, Adrianna

    The West Virginia medical journal

    2012  Volume 108, Issue 5, Page(s) 20–23

    Abstract The authors report a case of status epilepticus localized to sensorimotor cortex that was successfully treated with surgical resection and multiple subpial transections (MST). A 43 year old woman presented in status epilepticus emanating from a right central area focus as verified by subdural grid and strip electrodes. The seizures were medically intractable but were successfully aborted after surgical intervention. The authors describe their case and review the literature on central area status epilepticus.

    Abstract The authors report a case of status epilepticus secondary to limbic encephalitis that was successfully treated with temporal lobectomy. A 45-year-old woman presented in status epilepticus refractory to high-dose suppressive medical therapy. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed T2- and FLAIR-weighted hyperintensities in the right temporal lobe, left and right frontal lobes, and pons. A lumbar puncture revealed normal findings. Continuous electroencephalography monitoring showed continued right temporal seizure activity. A paraneoplastic panel was positive for N-type voltage-gated calcium channels. Subsequent bronchial biopsy revealed small cell carcinoma of the lung. A right temporal lobectomy was performed due to refractory status, resulting in resolution of seizure activity and recovery of good neurological function. The authors describe their case and review the literature on surgical therapy for refractory status epilepticus and limbic encephalitis.
