Current Opinion in Neurology, 1994
The publication of many review papers and five books on the surgical treatment of epilepsy during the past year attests to the tremendous increase in interest in this alternative mode of therapy. The number of therapeutic surgical procedures in the United States alone has more than tripled since 1986; however, there may be 10- to 100-fold more patients

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 1995
Epilepsy surgery is an important treatment for many patients with seizures refractory to medical therapy. In this article, the background for this surgery is discussed, and the most common operations reviewed. With early diagnosis and successful surgery, many patients can be returned to active and productive lives.

Pediatric Neurology, 2021
A large number of patients have epilepsy that is intractable and adversely affects a child's lifelong experience with addition societal burden that is disabling and expensive. The last two decades have seen a major explosion of new antiseizure medication options. Despite these advances, children with epilepsy continue to have intractable seizures.

Approaches to Epilepsy Surgery
Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 1993The different approaches to epilepsy surgery are discussed. Despite considerable differences in rationale, patients, and operative technique, there are apparently similar outcomes. There are no controlled studies available comparing these different techniques.

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2015
Medically refractory epilepsy is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric neurology. Surgical intervention has been well established as a viable treatment option in certain cases. This article reviews the process of selecting appropriate patients using the latest advances in neuroimaging and electrophysiologic techniques.

Epilepsy surgery of extratemporal epilepsy
Therapeutische Umschau, 2001Epilepsie gehört zu den häufigsten neurologischen Erkrankungen. Obwohl bei den meisten Patienten die Erkrankung mit Medikamenten zufriedenstellend eingestellt werden kann, bleiben rund 30 bis 40% der Patienten mit fokaler Epilepsie therapierefraktär. Bei diesen Patienten stellt die Epilepsiechirurgie eine wichtige Behandlungsoption dar.

Seminars in Pediatric Neurology, 2000
Surgery for intractable epilepsy is being offered at progressively younger ages, including infancy. The most common causes of catastrophic epilepsy in very young surgical candidates are focal malformations of cortical development and low-grade tumors.

Object naming in epilepsy and epilepsy surgery
Epilepsy & Behavior, 2015The ability to express oneself verbally is critical for success in academic, occupational, and social domains. Unfortunately, word-finding or "naming" difficulty is the most common cognitive complaint among individuals with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), and a substantial body of work over the past several decades has documented naming impairment in ...

Current Opinion in Neurology, 1995
Epilepsy surgery is capable of stopping seizures or markedly reducing their frequency in selected patients with medically refractory epilepsy. Presurgical evaluation, as currently practiced, requires concordance among a battery of localizing tests. Cost-effectiveness is increasingly important in the development of optimal presurgical protocols and ...

Epilepsy & Behavior, 2013
The impact of health and disease has led many artists to depict these themes for thousands of years. Specifically, epilepsy has been the subject of many famous works, likely because of the dramatic and misunderstood nature of the clinical presentation. It often evokes religious and even mythical processes. Epilepsy surgical treatment has revolutionized
