Resection of bilateral occipital lobe lesions during a single operation as a treatment for bilateral occipital lobe epilepsy.

Background: Neurosurgical treatment of severe bilateral occipital lobe epilepsy usually involves two operations several mos apart.

Aim: To evaluate surgical resection of bilateral occipital lobe lesions during a single operation as a treatment for bilateral occipital lobe epilepsy.

Methods: This retrospective case series included patients with drug-refractory bilateral occipital lobe epilepsy treated surgically between March 2006 and November 2015.

Intracranial electrodes monitoring improves seizure control and complication outcomes for patients with temporal lobe epilepsy - A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) is the standard surgical treatment for temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), but patients may suffer from recurrent seizures post-surgery. Invasive electrical monitoring plays a critical role in precisely identifying the epileptic foci. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the benefits of long-term invasive electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring and two-stage surgery with the classical approach to examine their effect on post-surgical brain function and complications.
