摘要

Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder that affects between 0.5% - 1% of the general population. About 30% of the patients with localization-related epilepsy develop medication resistance and may benefit from surgery to improve their outcome. Anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) is superior to medical therapy in patients with medically intractable temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), which is the most common form of partial epilepsy. Favorable surgical outcome depends on proper selection of the patients on clinical basis, accurate localization of the epileptogenic focus with the electroencephalogram (EEG), and sparing of the important cognitive functions with the neuropsychological testing and other ancillary tests. Improvements in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology and its widespread availability have had a remarkable impact on the pre-surgical planning in epilepsy. High resolution anatomical MRI and quantitative analyses of the MRI findings are currently used to identify subtle epileptogenic lesions such as malformations of the cortical development and low grade tumors or focal brain atrophy that would have otherwise gone unnoticed.
