58 patients, whose convulsions and behavioral disorders did not respond to nonsurgical therapy, were treated with stereotactic amygdalotomy between 1963 and 1973. A retrospective study was carried out by a psychiatric research team 1--11 years postoperatively. Using reliable objective methods of assessment they found that 50% operated primarily for seizures, 33% for uncontrolled conduct disorders and 50% with both conditions seemed improved after surgery.
1963年至1973年间,对58例惊厥和行为障碍对非手术治疗无反应的患者进行了立体定向杏仁核切开术。一个精神病学研究团队在术后1至11年进行了一项回顾性研究。他们使用可靠的客观评估方法发现,主要因癫痫接受手术的患者中有50%、因无法控制的行为障碍接受手术的患者中有33%以及同时患有这两种疾病的患者中有50%在术后似乎有所改善。
