Abstract
|
|
|
Since October, 1989, the authors underwent operations for 20 patients of medically intractable epilepsy, Eight patients with temporal lobe epilepsy were treated by temporal lobectomy. Four patients with extratemporal focus of seizure were treated
with
extratemporal corticectomy. Eight patients with multiple types of seizure were treated with callosotomy. The presurgical evaluations of epileptic seizures were very important, The presurgical evaluations were standard EEG, CCTV-EEG monitoring,
neuroimaging, neuropsychological test, Wada test and invasive study with intracranial electrodes. There were no serious complications after operation. The authors concluded that epilepsy surgery seemed to be safe and helpful method for the
treatment of
medically intractable epilepsy.
