Abstract:
:The use of temporal lobectomy for the treatment of intractable complex partial seizures of temporal lobe origin has a long and successful history. When appropriately applied in children, excellent seizure control and neurodevelopmental progress are expected. This article reviews patient selection, evaluating the surgical procedure and outcome for temporal lobectomy, specifically in the pediatric population.
