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 ...

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.

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

Whereas there is no specific neurosurgical technique in pediatric epilepsy, the frequency of each type of surgery is very different from epilepsy surgery applied in adults, and reflects the underlying etiologies, which are much more diverse in children, with malformations of cortical development and tumors as the prevailing etiologies.

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.

Evolution of concepts in epilepsy surgery.
Epileptic disorders, 2019At the time of the first meeting of the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) in 1909, surgical treatment for epilepsy had been accepted as an alternative therapy for over two decades, but was rarely practiced, considered a last resort for ...

Influence of epilepsy surgery on developmental outcomes in children.
European journal of paediatric neurology, 2019Epilepsy surgery is the most effective treatment option for children with refractory focal lesional epilepsy, with seizure-freedom rates exceeding 70% two years after surgery.

Psychiatric complications after epilepsy surgery… but where are the psychiatrists?
Epilepsy & Behavior, 2019In patients with refractory epilepsy, there is a significant risk of postoperative psychiatric complications after epilepsy surgery. The main risk factors for this phenomenon include a lifetime or family history of psychiatric illness; these risk factors

European trends in epilepsy surgery
Neurology, 2018Objective Resective surgery is effective in treating drug-resistant focal epilepsy, but it remains unclear whether improved diagnostics influence postsurgical outcomes. Here, we compared practice and outcomes over 2 periods 15 years apart.

Epilepsia, 1987
Summary: The use of implantable arrays of epidural electrodes has made it possible to carry out extraoperative electrocorticography (ECoG) and functional localization in the awake child. This has permitted cortical excisions that are determined by criteria similar to those obtained during surgical procedures performed under local anesthesia in adults.
