ABSTRACT
Objective:
To discuss the surgical outcome of pediatric intractable temporal epilepsy.Methods:
This observation included 34 pediatric patients with intractable temporal epilepsy who were admitted to our hospital from 1990 to 2001.CT or MRI,EEG and neuropsychological examinations were taken to determine the situations of the patients.They all underwent improved anterior temporal lobectomy.Results:
The patients have been followed up for 2-13 years.According to Engel's classification,the achieved outcomes were seizure-free in 22(65 %) patients,apparently improved in 3(9 %) patients,improved in 3(9 %) patients,no effect in 2(6 %) patients,and lost of follow-up in 4(12 %) patients,respectively.Conclusion:
Surgical treatment to pediatric intractable temporal epilepsy is safe and effective.The most common pathological causes for pediatric epilepsy are tumor and hippocampus sclerosis.Early surgery of pediatric temporal epilepsy could improve the life qualities of patients.
