Abstract: BACKGROUND Mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) is the most common cause of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). While MTS is associated with a high cure rate after temporal lobectomy (TL), postoperative neurocognitive deficits are common, and a… read more here.

Abstract: Epilepsy is a chronic seizure disorder that affects about 1% of the global population.1 When seizure freedom cannot be obtained solely through antiseizure medicines (ASMs), the condition is termed medically refractory epilepsy (MRE).2,3 Though posterior… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000030114
Abstract: Insular involvement in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) has gradually been recognized since the widespread use of stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG). However, the correlation between insular involvement and failed temporal lobe surgery remains unclear. In this study, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/epi.17440
Abstract: Anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) for medication‐resistant localized epilepsy results in ablation or reduction of seizures for most patients. However, some individuals who attain an initial extended period of postsurgical seizure freedom will experience a later… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/epi.17490
Abstract: Anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) and transsylvian selective amygdalohippocampectomy (tsSAHE) are effective treatment strategies for intractable temporal lobe epilepsy but may cause visual field deficits (VFDs) by damaging the optic radiation (OpR). Due to the OpR's… read more here.

Abstract: We thank Dr. Sethi for reemphasizing our view that decision to withdraw antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) after temporal lobectomy needs to be individualized and requires multifactorial consideration.1 Even one recurrence in these patients, who otherwise consider… read more here.

DOI: 10.1227/ons.0000000000000441
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Anterior temporal lobectomy is the most effective treatment for intractable temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). However, patients are reluctant to choose this surgery for fear of risks after large frontotemporal craniotomy, and epileptologists likewise have… read more here.
