Abstract
Prognostic implications of absolute spike frequency over the affected temporal lobe and relative spike distribution between the two temporal lobes for postoperative seizure control were assessed in 55 adult patients with medically refractory mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE), in a study at General Hospital Hietzing, Vienna, Austria.
Highlights
Extratemporal ictal clinical features in hippocampal sclerosis are most frequent in cases with severe hippocampal atrophy but do not affect surgical outcome, in a study at the University of Verona, Italy; and National Hospital, London, UK.

Prognostic implications of absolute spike frequency over the affected temporal lobe and relative spike distribution between the two temporal lobes for postoperative seizure control were assessed in 55 adult patients with medically refractory mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE), in a study at General Hospital Hietzing, Vienna, Austria
4 of 14 patients (28.6%) in the frequent spike group (>60/hr over the affected temporal lobe) were completely seizure free compared to 33 of 41 patients (80.5%) in the nonfrequent spikes group (
