Abstract
The Risk-Benefit Ratio for Temporal Lobe Resection in Patients with Bilateral Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy.
Highlights
Neuropsychological Outcome After Epilepsy Surgery in Patients with Bilateral Ammon’s Horn Sclerosis
Seizure Control In Vogt et al, 82% of the surgically treated group (9/11) were seizure free after a median follow-up of 16 months as opposed to none of the nonsurgery patients. Such favorable success rates with regard to seizure control are comparable with some earlier studies with short postoperative follow-up durations or small sample sizes: Martin et al reported a “higher than 70%” seizure-freedom rate about a year after temporal lobe resection in 21 patients with bilateral hippocampal atro
Four of five patients with bilateral hippocampal atrophy evaluated with intracranial recordings were seizure free more than 2 years after temporal lobe resection [5]
