Neurosurgery, 2008
The idea of surgical treatment for epilepsy is not new. However, widespread use and general acceptance of this treatment has only been achieved during the past three decades. A crucial step in this direction was the development of video electroencephalographic monitoring.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2015
Focal epilepsies are caused by a malfunction of nerve cells localised in one part of one cerebral hemisphere. In studies, estimates of the number of individuals with focal epilepsy who do not become seizure-free despite optimal drug therapy vary according to the age of the participants and which focal epilepsies are included, but have been reported as ...

Neurologic Clinics, 1985
Despite important advances in the treatment of epilepsy over the past several decades, many patients remain uncontrolled. Partial complex (psychomotor) seizures are the largest problem, with less than two thirds of patients successfully managed despite optimal medication use. In these situations, various surgical procedures may be helpful, depending on

Practical Neurology, 2019
Epilepsy surgery offers the chance of seizure remission for the 30%–40% of patients with focal epilepsy whose seizures continue despite anti-epileptic medications. Epilepsy surgery encompasses curative resective procedures, palliative techniques such as corpus callosotomy and implantation of stimulation devices. Pre-surgical evaluation aims to identify

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 1996
Only 15% of patients with severe epilepsy with frequent partial seizures achieve any improvement in their seizure frequency by further drug treatment. As we know that epileptic seizures result in neuron loss with early development of mental deterioration, that the mortality rate of patients with epilepsy is increased and that an exact localization of ...

Epilepsy surgery in MRI-negative epilepsies
Current Opinion in Neurology, 2014This study discusses the challenges of MRI-negative epilepsy surgery, and the strategies in using advanced MRI and functional imaging tests and their associated postsurgical outcome.Several methods for processing MRI postacquisition data have identified either previously undetectable or overlooked MRI abnormalities. The resection of these abnormalities

Pediatric Annals, 2006
Epilepsy surgery in general is viewed with many misconceptions about its safety and efficacy, and it is an under-used modality worldwide. This deficiency is particularly relevant to children, who stand to benefit the most from early remission of seizures and elimination of the need for potentially toxic AEDs.

Challenges of Epilepsy Surgery
World Neurosurgery, 2020Though frequently effective in the management of medically refractory seizures, epilepsy surgery presents numerous challenges. Selection of the appropriate candidate patients who are likely to benefit from surgery is critical to achieving seizure freedom and avoiding neurocognitive morbidity.

Tumor‐related epilepsy and epilepsy surgery
Epilepsia, 2013SummaryTumor‐related epilepsy (TRE) is a major etiologic category of epilepsy. TRE is heterogeneous, and the epidemiology, pathology, pathophysiology, clinical features, treatment, and outcomes vary accordingly. In addition, treatment imperatives vary between almost purely epilepsy considerations and those that are primarily oncologic.

Surgery for epilepsy: a review
Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 1986This year marks the centennial of the first surgical resection for epilepsy performed by Horsley. While epilepsy is generally considered a disease best treated with anticonvulsant medications, surgical therapy is of significant benefit to some patients in whom medical therapy has proved ineffective.
