متن کاملEpilepsy surgery for pharmacoresistant temporal lobe epilepsy: a decision analysis.
CONTEXT Patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy have increased mortality compared with the general population, but patients with pharmacoresistant temporal lobe epilepsy who meet criteria for surgery and who become seizure-free after anterior temporal lobe resection have reduced excess mortality vs those with persistent seizures. OBJECTIVE To quantify the potential survival benefit of anteri...
متن کاملTemporal lobe surgery for epilepsy: neuropsychological variables related to surgical outcome.
A retrospective study of 383 patients who had undergone either left or right anterior temporal lobectomy (varying with respect to the amount of hippocampus excised) revealed that there were no significant differences in surgical outcome between those patients having a large and those patients having a small hippocampal removal. Although left temporal-lobe excisions were significantly smaller th...
متن کاملBrain Atrophy Following Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Surgery
Introduction Current understanding of the secondary effects of brain surgery, both conventional and irradiative, is largely limited to clinical observations. Studies of post-operative imaging data have mainly concentrated on brain atrophy following radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy [ 1,2]. We have investigated the effect of conventional surgery on the unresected brain tissue based on the compari...
متن کاملTemporal Lobe Epilepsy Surgery Failures: A Review
Patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) are refractory to antiepileptic drugs in about 30% of cases. Surgical treatment has been shown to be beneficial for the selected patients but fails to provide a seizure-free outcome in 20-30% of TLE patients. Several reasons have been identified to explain these surgical failures. This paper will address the five most common causes of TLE surgery failu...
