A noninvasive protocol for anterior temporal lobectomy

Neurology, 1992
We report the results of a protocol for choosing candidates for temporal lobectomy using a standard battery of objective tests without intracranial electrodes. We assigned each test a level of importance, and an algorithm was used to determine whether temporal lobectomy could be performed.

Neuroimaging studies in children with temporal lobectomy

Child's Nervous System, 1995
Twenty-eight children with intractable seizures who subsequently underwent a temporal lobectomy were studied by electroencephalogram (EEG), prolonged video EEG telemetry, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for the localization of epileptogenic foci. MRI showed abnormalities

Temporal Lobectomy: A Promising Alternative

Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 1991
Recent 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.

Stereopsis after anterior temporal lobectomy

Cortex, 2016
Brain 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, 1983
Seventeen 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, 2000
Object. 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.

Somatoform Disorders After Temporal Lobectomy

Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology, 2004
Depression, 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, 1999
Sixty-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.

Postictal psychosis after temporal lobectomy

Neurology, 2002
Three of 282 consecutive patients who had temporal resections for intractable epilepsy developed postoperative postictal psychosis. These three patients had seizure recurrence contralateral to the resection, whereas none of the patients with ipsilateral seizure recurrence developed any psychiatric symptoms after surgery.
