RESUMO
Musicogenic epilepsy is a reflex epilepsy provoked by listening to or playing music. The epileptogenic network involves temporal regions, usually mesiotemporal structures. We present a 31-year-old female patient who experienced musicogenic seizures after a right temporal lobectomy with amygdalohippocampectomy that was performed in order to treat preexisting right mesio-temporal epilepsy.

Multinodular and vacuolating neuronal tumour (MVNT) of the cerebrum is a relatively new, well defined histopathological and neuroradiological entity, in many cases associated with an early adult-onset epilepsy. These lesions have an indolent course and resemble both malformative and neoplastic processes, combining a focal developmental anomaly and a low-grade tumour. Herein, we report a case of a 48-year-old female patient with left temporal lobe epilepsy associated with MVNT. In addition, a comprehensive review of all the previously published cases is provided with a focus on seizure-related cases, surgical treatment, and postoperative outcome.

We report good outcome after surgical treatment of two patients with meningoencephalocele associated with pharmacoresistant temporal lobe epilepsy. Surgical management of meningoencephaloceles may result in seizure freedom, although optimal surgical strategy is still controversial.
