Childhood absence epilepsy: behavioral, cognitive, and linguistic comorbidities.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To identify features of ablations and trajectories that correlate with optimal seizure control and minimize the risk of neurocognitive deficits in patients undergoing laser interstitial thermal therapy (LiTT) for mesiotemporal epilepsy (mTLE). METHODS:Clinical and radiographic data were reviewed from a prosp...
