Long-term outcome and predictors of resective surgery prognosis in patients with refractory extratemporal epilepsy.

Purpose: We analyzed the long-term postoperative outcome and possible predictive factors of the outcome in surgically treated patients with refractory extratemporal epilepsy.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 73 patients who had undergone resective surgery at the Epilepsy Center Brno between 1995 and 2010 and who had reached at least 1 year outcome after the surgery. The average age at surgery was 28.
