UNASSIGNED: OBJECT @entity10067 ( @entity10067 ) is one of the most common causes of @entity302 leading to surgery in @entity1 . The predictors of @entity410 freedom after surgical management for @entity10067 are still unclear. The objective of this study was to perform a volumetric analysis of factors shown on the preresection and postresection brain MRI scans of @entity1 who had undergone resective @entity302 surgery for @entity6795 and to determine the influence of these factors on @entity410 outcome. METHODS The authors reviewed the medical records and brain images of 43 consecutive @entity1 with focal MRI-documented abnormalities and a pathological diagnosis of @entity10067 who had undergone surgical treatment for @entity302 . Preoperative lesion volume and postoperative resection volume were calculated by manual segmentation using OsiriX PRO software. RESULTS Forty-three @entity1 underwent first-time surgery for resection of an @entity10067 . The age range of these @entity1 at the time of surgery ranged from 2 months to 21.8 years (mean age 7.3 years). The median duration of follow-up was 20 months. The mean age at onset was 31.6 months (range 1 day to 168 months). Complete resection of the area of an @entity10067 , as adjudged from the postoperative brain MR images, was significantly associated with @entity410 control (p = 0.0005). The odds of having good @entity410 control among those who underwent complete resection were about 6 times higher than those among the @entity1 who did not undergo complete resection. @entity410 control was not significantly associated with lesion volume (p = 0.46) or perilesion resection volume (p = 0.86). CONCLUSIONS The completeness of @entity10067 resection in @entity1 is a significant predictor of @entity410 freedom. Neither lesion volume nor the further resection of perilesional tissue is predictive of @entity410 freedom.
