Epilepsy surgery can lead to new psychiatric symptoms, most commonly affective disorders and psychosis. Routine psychiatric evaluations before and after epilepsy surgery are crucial for patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Psychiatry
  • Epileptology

Background:

  • Postsurgical psychiatric complications can occur following epilepsy surgery.
  • De novo psychiatric symptoms have been reported in patients undergoing this procedure.
  • Psychiatric assessments are inconsistently included in presurgical evaluations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of psychiatric evaluations in epilepsy surgery.
  • To inform clinicians about potential postsurgical psychiatric complications.
  • To advocate for routine pre- and postsurgical psychiatric assessments.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on psychiatric complications after epilepsy surgery.
  • Analysis of reported psychiatric disorders in postsurgical epilepsy patients.

  • Discussion of the role of psychiatric assessment in presurgical evaluation.

    • Main Results:

    • Affective disorders and psychosis are the most frequent postsurgical psychiatric issues.
    • No absolute psychiatric contraindications to epilepsy surgery exist.
    • Certain pre-existing psychiatric conditions warrant careful consideration due to increased risk.

    Conclusions:

    • Routine pre- and postsurgical psychiatric evaluations are urgently needed for epilepsy surgery candidates.
    • Clinicians must be aware of the potential for psychiatric complications post-surgery.
    • Psychiatric assessment is vital for optimizing outcomes in epilepsy surgery patients.
