Aim: To investigate how to select ideal candidates for extratemporal resective epilepsy surgery, without compromising efficacy and safety, in countries with limited pre-surgical diagnostic facilities.
Method: From the prospective database maintained at an epilepsy surgery centre in southern India, we reviewed the attributes of consecutive patients who had completed at least two years of follow-up after resections involving frontal, parietal and occipital lobes for medically refractory focal seizures.
Results: Of 386 patients diagnosed with extratemporal refractory epilepsies during the study period, 61 (15.
Purpose: To investigate the electro-clinical significance of premature accumulation of corpora amylacea (CoA) in the resected hippocampus of patients with medically refractory mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (MTLE-HS).
Methods: We compared the clinical and EEG characteristics, and post-operative seizure outcome of 373 (mean age 29.4 years, range 7-55 years) surgically treated MTLE-HS patients with (MTLE-HS-CoA(+), n=129 [34.
Objectives: To define the postoperative seizure outcome and its predictors in patients with ganglioglioma-related temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE).
Patients And Methods: We reviewed the pre- and post-surgical evaluation data of 23 patients with temporal lobe ganglioglioma, who had completed >or=1 year of postoperative follow-up. They comprised 4.
Background: Very few studies have specifically addressed surgical treatment and outcome of patients with tumor-related temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE).
Aim: To define the postoperative seizure outcome and the factors that influenced the outcome of patients with tumor-related TLE.
Materials And Methods: We selected patients whose surgical pathology revealed a temporal lobe neoplasm and who had completed > 1 year of postoperative follow-up.
