Pre-Operative Interictal Discharge Patterns and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings Affect Prognosis of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Surgery

Conclusion: If the pre-operative interictal discharge pattern in EEG is confined to the unilateral anterior region, prognosis is good. If there are abnormalities in MRI findings, post-operative prognosis is good, regardless of pre-operative interictal discharge patterns in EEG. Surgical intervention is highly recommended for TLE patients with normal MRI findings and interictal discharge confined to the unilateral anterior region.Eur Neurol
