- Abstract
- This review covers the broad topic of brain surgery in the treatment of pediatric intractable epilepsy. The authors review the latest advancements in the presurgical workup as well as the mandatory tests needed to explore the epilepsy workup in these children. They describe the different types of epilepsy from a surgical standpoint (temporal, extratemporal, multifocal, and hemispheric epilepsies) and various surgical procedures that can be proposed depending on the clinical scenario: lesionectomies, lobectomies, hemispherectomies, neuromodulation, and palliative surgeries. They also describe the key differences of the pediatric patient as compared with the adult patient in such pathologic conditions. Keywords: Epilepsy surgery; Medically intractable epilepsy; Outcomes; Resection; Surgical selection.
