Effects of stereotactic lesions in intractable epilepsy

The eras of surgical treatment of epilepsy are described and experience with the epilepsy operations, especially those obtained in the course of temporal epilepsy operations, and stereotactic attempts based on multielectrode EEG investigations, and ES. Classical, exposure and resection still seems adequate whilst stereotaxy develops in the selective elimination of the structure activating the coded seizure-pattern.
