Abstract
GKNS has been introduced as an alternative to microsurgery for the treatment of certain types of focal epilepsy. It was first noted that epilepsy associated with AVMs often improved before the obliteration of the vascular lesion. It was subsequently shown that the treatment could be effective in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) producing remission in around 60% of patients, provided the treatment was carried out as originally designed. GKNS has also been useful in the treatment of gelastic epilepsy associated with hypothalamic hamartomas.
