Rao, MBRadhakrishnan, KThomas, SVNayak, SDSantoshkumar, B2017-03-102017-03-101997,;2279-2282https://dspace.sctimst.ac.in/handle/123456789/9702We performed a prospective study of 55 consecutive patients who underwent anterior temporal lobectomy and amygdalo-hippocampectomy (ATL) for intractable complex partial seizures (CPS) of temporal lobe origin. Presurgical evaluation included detailed clinical history and examination, scalp EEG, video-EEG, MRI, intracarotid amytal test, neuropsychological, psyche-social and psychiatric evaluation. Three-months and 1-year post-ATL assessment revealed a remarkable improvement in outcome scores; nearly 96% patients are either totally free or almost free of seizures (Engel class I and II). Utilizing non-invasive evaluation, patients with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy can be selected for cost-effective surgical treatment to provide good seizure control and improved quality of life.Neurosciences & Neurology
