ABSTRACT
Epilepsy is one of the major clinical features of tuberous sclerosis complex, and it is drug-resistant in the majority of cases.Surgical resection is an effective way to resolve the seizures.Precise preoperative evaluation is critical to the surgical outcome.Preoperative evaluation mainly aims to determine the range of the epileptogenic zone and the functional areas that should be preserved.Because of the complexity of the epileptogenic mechanism and brain network, there isn′t a single and specific measure that can accurately position the epileptogenic zone, so it is necessary to comprehensively evaluate and localize the epileptogenic zone by using multiple methods, including collection of a detailed medical history, symptomatic analysis during the attack of seizures, magnetic resonance imaging, positronemission tomography, electroencephalogram, neuropsychological evaluation, etc.In this paper, the rational use of above-mentioned approaches and comprehensive analysis of their results were summarized, which play an essential role in contro-lling seizures in children with tuberous sclerosis complex and refractory seizures.
