PURPOSES: To provide evidence-based quantitative summary estimates of seizure
outcomes in patients with non-lesional and lesional epilepsy treated with surgery, and to …

The association between hippocampal sclerosis (HS) and epilepsy has been known for
almost two centuries. For many years, HS was studied in postmortem series; however, since …

Context Despite reported success, surgery for pharmacoresistant seizures is often seen as a
last resort. Patients are typically referred for surgery after 20 years of seizures, often too late …

Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy and prognostic value of 18FDG-PET in a
recent series of patients operated for intractable partial epilepsy associated with …

Nearly one-third of patients with focal epilepsy experience disabling seizures that are
refractory to pharmacotherapy. Drug-resistant focal epilepsy is, however, potentially curable …

Objective To explore several characteristics of patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy
without distinct lesions on magnetic resonance images (MRI−), who account for a relevant …

According to most existing literature, the absence of an MRI lesion is generally associated
with poorer prognosis in resective epilepsy surgery. Delineation of the epileptogenic zone …

Purpose: Despite advances in “noninvasive” localization techniques, many patients with
medically intractable epilepsy require the placement of subdural (subdural grid electrode …

Purpose: Type II focal cortical dysplasia (TTFCD), a highly epileptogenic lesion with severe
epilepsy curable by surgery, is missed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in about one …

Epilepsy surgery requires precise localization of the epileptic source. EEG-correlated
functional MRI (EEG-fMRI) is a new technique showing the haemodynamic effects of …
