DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2018.04.593
Abstract: Introduction Accurate delineation of epileptogenic zone(EZ) is crucial in patients with medically refractory epilepsy (MRE) warranting surgery and at least 33% will have seizure recurrence post-surgery. Intracranial EEG studies had showed that high frequency oscillations… read more here.

Prediction of seizure freedom after epilepsy surgery – Critical reappraisal of significance of intracranial EEG parameters
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Clinical Neurophysiology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2020.08.018
Abstract: OBJECTIVE To analyze the significance of intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) parameters such as seizure onset patterns (SOP) and size of seizure onset zone (SOZ) with respect to prediction of seizure freedom after resective epilepsy surgery. METHODS… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jns.2021.120043
Abstract: The course of established epilepsy in late life is not fully known. One key question is whether the resolution of an epileptic diathesis is a natural outcome in some people with long-standing epilepsy. We investigated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2018.08.121
Abstract: OBJECTIVE The seizure outcomes for patients with brain arteriovenous malformations (AVM) who undergo intervention with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) are incompletely understood. We sought to determine, in a systematic review and meta-analysis, the rates of seizure… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/arclin/acab062.86
Abstract: Presurgical cognitive and psychiatric status can serve as predictors of surgical outcomes; however, there are no studies that assess the predictive nature of cognitive factors and psychiatric illness on seizure freedom following stereotactic laser ablation,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/brain/awad085
Abstract: Abstract Around 50% of patients undergoing frontal lobe surgery for focal drug-resistant epilepsy become seizure free post-operatively; however, only about 30% of patients remain seizure free in the long-term. Early seizure recurrence is likely to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/neuros/nyz310_368
Abstract: Approximately one-third of epilepsy patients are medically refractory and could benefit from surgery. Currently, it is difficult to predict precisely the postoperative likelihood of seizure freedom. Here, we sought to develop a regression-based clinical score… read more here.

Postoperative seizure freedom does not normalize altered connectivity in temporal lobe epilepsy

DOI: 10.1111/epi.13867
Abstract: Specific changes in the functional connectivity of brain networks occur in patients with epilepsy. Yet whether such changes reflect a stable disease effect or one that is a function of active seizure burden remains unclear.… read more here.
