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 ...

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.

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

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.

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 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

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.

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.

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.

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.
