Mania following temporal lobectomy
Neurology, 2003To determine clinical and diagnostic variables that predict the development of mania after temporal lobectomy for treatment of refractory epilepsy.From a large surgical database, 16 patients with new-onset mania after temporal lobectomy were identified.

Temporal lobectomy in children with epilepsy
Journal of Neurosurgery, 1986✓ The results of temporal lobectomy for medically refractory seizures are analyzed in 29 boys and 21 girls with a mean age of 15.8 years. The average age at onset of seizures was 7.5 years, and the time between onset and surgery averaged 8.3 years. Postoperatively, 27 patients (54%) were seizure-free, 12 patients (24%) had only occasional auras without

1990
The indications for, and results of the author's personal series of 486 resective operations in epileptic patients are reviewed, together with the long term results of 286 patients undergoing temporal lobectomy. Almost 50% of such patients were seizure free when followed for two to thirty years.

Stereopsis after anterior temporal lobectomy
Cortex, 2016Brain areas critical for stereopsis have been investigated in non-human primates but are largely unknown in the human brain. Microelectrode recordings and functional MRI (fMRI) studies in monkeys have shown that in monkeys the inferior temporal cortex is critically involved in 3D shape categorization.

Olfactory functioning in temporal lobectomy patients
Neuropsychologia, 1983Seventeen patients who received unilateral excision of the temporal lobe for intractable epilepsy were compared to 46 normal controls on a battery of tests of olfactory functioning. Tests included quality discrimination, immediate and delayed recognition memory, matching an odor to its visually or haptically presented source, and verbal identification ...

Temporal lobectomy in children: cognitive outcome
Journal of Neurosurgery, 2000Object. The authors sought to determine the impact of early temporal lobectomy (in patients younger than age 17 years) on intellectual functioning. The efficacy of temporal lobectomy for treating seizures is well established and the procedure is becoming more acceptable as a treatment for children whose seizures are intractable.

Temporal Lobectomy: A Promising Alternative
Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 1991Recent advances in the neurosciences have made temporal lobectomy a promising alternative for refractory seizures. Reportedly, postoperative seizure frequency decreases 95%. Specific criteria are used to determine a patient's suitability for surgery.

Somatoform Disorders After Temporal Lobectomy
Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology, 2004Depression, anxiety, and psychosis are the most frequent psychiatric disorders after epilepsy surgery. The only new-onset somatoform disorder reported postoperatively is conversion disorder. We identified 10 patients who developed somatoform disorder other than nonconversion epileptic seizures after anterior temporal lobectomy.We retrospectively ...

Temporal Lobe Epilepsy, Temporal Lobectomy, and Major Depression
The Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 1999Sixty-two patients with medically intractable complex partial seizures who had either surgical or no surgical intervention were followed up at a mean of 10.9 years after surgery or initial evaluation. Of the 49 surgical patients, 45% had a life-time history of depression, versus 15% of the 13 patients in the nonsurgical comparison group.

Temporal Lobectomy for Psychomotor Epilepsy
Journal of Mental Science, 1960Surgical removal of the temporal lobe is becoming an established therapeutic procedure in the treatment of focal epilepsy arising in one or other of the temporal lobes and good results in the control of otherwise intractable seizures have been widely reported (e.g. Falconer et al., 5; Picaza and Guma, 18). Indeed, with increasing experience of anterior
