Multiple subpial transections (MSTs) significantly reduced seizures in most epilepsy patients. However, late seizure recurrence occurred in some, suggesting MSTs may have a higher recurrence rate than resections.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Epileptology
  • Clinical Neurology

Background:

  • Medically refractory epilepsy poses significant challenges.
  • Multiple subpial transections (MSTs) are a surgical option for specific epilepsy types.
  • Long-term outcomes of MSTs require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of multiple subpial transections (MSTs).
  • To assess seizure frequency reduction and recurrence rates after MSTs.
  • To compare late seizure recurrence in MSTs versus pure resections.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 54 patients undergoing MSTs for refractory epilepsy.
  • Follow-up duration ranged from 28 to 89 months (mean 56 months).
  • Analysis of seizure frequency reduction and recurrence patterns post-surgery.

Main Results:

  • 79.6% of patients experienced significant seizure reduction.
  • 50% of patients were seizure-free or nearly seizure-free post-MSTs.
  • 18.6% of patients showed late seizure recurrence after initial improvement.

Conclusions:

  • MSTs offer substantial long-term seizure reduction in many epilepsy patients.
  • Late seizure recurrence is a notable concern following MSTs.
  • MSTs may be associated with a higher risk of late recurrence compared to pure resections.
