Abstract

Epilepsy is the third most common cause of neurologic disability. The disease carries a 15 prevalence and a 3.5% lifetime risk. Seventy percent of patients can achieve good seizure control with medication. The remaining 30%, some 360,000 people across the United States, have intractable epilepsy and would benefit from evaluation at an epilepsy specialty center where surgical intervention is an option. The following report reviews a series of 50 patients referred to the Arkansas Comprehensive Epilepsy Program for treatment of intractable complex partial epilepsy. In this series, we evaluate results of temporal lobectomy, commenting upon factors in the patients' histories which may influence their outcomes.

摘要

癫痫是导致神经功能障碍的第三大常见病因。该病的患病率为15%，终生患病风险为3.5%。70%的患者通过药物治疗可实现良好的癫痫发作控制。其余30%，即美国约36万人，患有难治性癫痫，在癫痫专科中心接受评估会有所助益，因为在这些中心手术干预是一种选择。以下报告回顾了转诊至阿肯色综合癫痫项目接受难治性复杂部分性癫痫治疗的50例患者。在该系列中，我们评估了颞叶切除术的结果，并对患者病史中可能影响其预后的因素进行了评论。
