Summary
Acute Electrocorticography (EcoG) During Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Surgery-Review. Temporal lobe epilepsy is the commonest type of partial epilepsy and surgery for intractable temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common form of epilepsy surgery performed world over, with consistently goods results. Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) constitutes around 8090% of all temporal lobe epilepsies. The surgical procedures commonly carried out for MTLE include standard anterior temporal lobectomy with amygdalohippocampectomy (ATL+AH), electrocorticographically guided tailored resections of the amygdale, hippocampus and the neocortical structures, and selective amygdalohippocampectomy. The role of intra-operative acute electrocorticography (ECoG) during temporal lobe surgery remains controversial despite being in use for over 6 decades
