Cavernoma-related epilepsy in cavernous malformations located within the temporal lobe: surgical management and seizure outcome.

CONCLUSIONS: Favorable seizure outcome is achievable in a substantial number of patients with epileptogenic CCM located in the temporal lobe, even if patients suffered from drug-resistant CRE. For adequate counseling and monitoring, patients with CRE should undergo a thorough pre- and postsurgical evaluation in dedicated epilepsy surgery programs.
