ABSTRACT
Epilepsy mostly starts in childhood and can cause severe mental disorders.Treatment with antiepileptic drugs is effective in most patients, but 20%-30% of the patients continue to have uncontrolled seizures despite medical therapy, these are called drug-resistant epilepsy and need surgical treatment.Critical to discussion of surgical therapy are detailed presurgical evaluation and the lateralization and localization of epileptogenic zone.With deepening of the knowledge of epilepsy and progress of imaging technology, the evaluation of epilepsy surgery is changing gradually.Now, some methods and advances of surgical evaluation for children with drug-resistant epilepsy are reviewed.
