Temporal lobe epilepsy surgery in childhood: rationale for greater use
1University Hospital, University of Western Ontario, London, Canada.
Abstract:
Anterior temporal resection may effectively relieve therapy-resistant seizures in children and give social, psychological and economic benefits. Epidemiological and prognostic data demonstrate that this is an under-utilised procedure: although an estimated 677 Ontario children per year would be candidates for anterior temporal resection, only 18 were performed in a 12 month period.
