Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery

Context:

  • Epilepsy surgery is an option for patients unresponsive to antiepileptic drugs.
  • Comprehensive pre-surgical evaluation is essential for surgical planning.

Purpose:

  • To detail the diagnostic process and surgical interventions for epilepsy.
  • To report outcomes of epilepsy surgery.

Summary:

  • Pre-surgical diagnosis involves clinical history, neurological exams, EEG, neuropsychological testing, Wada test, and neuroimaging (MRI).
  • Surgical procedures focus on removing the epileptogenic focus and associated lesions, commonly in the temporal lobe.
  • Commonly associated lesions include low-grade tumors, developmental failures, and hippocampal sclerosis.

Impact:

  • Epilepsy surgery leads to seizure freedom or significant reduction in 90% of patients.
  • Surgical intervention provides a viable treatment option for refractory epilepsy.
