Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2004
Uncontrolled epilepsy is associated with progressive cortical and hippocampal atrophy, substantial cognitive and psychosocial morbidity, and increased mortality. Seizure freedom is required to reverse such morbidity and mortality. Surgery is vastly superior to medical therapy for patients with chronic, refractory temporal lobe seizures, and is now the ...

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2012
This review highlights recent advances in epilepsy surgery specifically awake surgery technique, and introduces the clinical application of neuromodulation concept in this field.Surgical success, improving quality-of-life in epilepsy patients, relies upon complete resection of epileptogenic areas and perfect protection of functional areas.

Epilepsia, 1996
Summary: Purpose: We report 12 infants who had frontal (n = 3), temporal (n = 2), or temporoparieto‐occipital (n = 2) resection or functional hemispherectomies (n = 5) at age 2.5–29 (mean 15.3) months for catastrophic epilepsy due to focal cortical dysplasia (n = 5), Sturge‐Weber syndrome (n = 3), ganglioglioma (n = 3), or hemimegalencephaly (n = 1 ...

Epilepsy surgery began in China from the 1950s to the 1960s, after the People's Republic of China was established (hereinafter as China). However, its rapid growth occurred in recent 10 years with the implement of reform and open policy. The growth is mainly manifested in basic and clinical aspects.

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 1988
The various surgical methods used in the management of epilepsy are reviewed. Intracranial recording procedures such as epidural and subdural recording are presented as well as their main indications, advantages and inconveniences. Emphasis is placed on the techniques of intracranial recording used at the Montreal Neurological Institute, namely chronic

Conventional Surgery in Epilepsy
1976The following report summarises the results of 75 patients with sufficient data for analysis suffering from epilepsy, operated on from 1951 to 1971. The report is intended to answer the question, which method of conventional surgical approaches can be performed with any chance of success, and what kind of surgery must be improved.

Principles of Surgery for Epilepsy
1990The pre-requisite conditions for surgical treatment of epilepsy are: ineffective pharmacotherapy, the unacceptable nature of the seizures and the presence of an organic brain lesion as the basis of the disease. The principles of surgery stem from knowledge of the anatomicofunctional structure and evolution of the epileptic process, which indicate the ...

Preparing for epilepsy surgery
Seizure, 1993Preparation for epilepsy surgery should assure that both patient and supporters understand the diagnostic and surgical procedures undertaken. Also essential is consideration of psychosocial concerns. This can be done by integrating discussions of psychosocial issues with evaluations of emotional readiness for surgery as part of a pre-surgical education
