Abstract:
Epilepsy surgery is capable of stopping seizures or markedly reducing their frequency in selected patients with medically refractory epilepsy. Presurgical evaluation, as currently practiced, requires concordance among a battery of localizing tests. Cost-effectiveness is increasingly important in the development of optimal presurgical protocols and surgical procedures in specific patient populations.
