[Indications of the surgical treatment of epilepsy].

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:The surgery of epilepsy is expanding considerably all over the world. It is becoming a standard treatment in patients who are resistant to conventional medical treatment. DEVELOPMENT:In this article we explain the methodology used by the authors and suggest concepts regarding the epileptogenous area. We also explain the procedures used in neuroimaging and neurophysiology studies. CONCLUSIONS:Good methodology, such as that used by the authors, results in up to 65% of the patients in whom amygdalo-hippocampectomy is done becoming completely seizure-free. Amygdalo-campectomy is the most specific indication in mesolimbic temporal epilepsy, which is also the main indication for the surgery of epilepsy.
