ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the surgical treatment of epilepsy in rolandic and immediate perirolan dic cortex.Methods 376 patients accepted surgical treatment in our hospital from January 2010 to January 2016,of whom 48 patients fulfilled eligibility criteria and were included in the study.Patients were divided into 2 groups for analysis:patients with resections in the rolandic cortex (A group,n =28),and patients with resections in immediate perirolandic cortex and simultaneous sensorimotor multiple subpial transections (B group,n =20).Postoperative seizure outcome and neurologic deficits were analyzed.Results According to classification of Engel,Engel Ⅰ was in 22 (45.8％),Engel Ⅱ in 7 (14.6％),Engel Ⅲ in 10 (20.8％) and Engel Ⅳ in 9(18.8％).Seizure outcome satisfaction rate (Engel Ⅰ +Engel Ⅱ) in the group A was significantly higher than the group B (P =0.036);temporary and transient neurological deficits in the two groups had no statistically significant (P =0.569,P =0.418).Conclusions It is possible to achieve complete dissection of epileptic foci in rolandic and immediate perirolandic cortex without damage.The good prognosis is not related to the degree of excision of epilepsy and has no definite correlation with neurological dysfunction.
