What is the effect of surgical treatment of frontal lobe epilepsy

summary

Temporal lobe epilepsy is a common type of epilepsy, the treatment effect varies from person to person, some of which become refractory epilepsy after regular medical treatment. Now I will talk about the surgical treatment effect of frontal lobe epilepsy.

What is the effect of surgical treatment of frontal lobe epilepsy

First, the treatment effect varies from person to person. Some of the cases become intractable epilepsy due to the poor effect of regular medical treatment. Some of the cases are strictly selected, and the surgical treatment can obtain good results.

Second, the surgical location of frontal lobe epilepsy is a difficult problem, because many parts of EEG can not be accurately located. However, according to the preoperative evaluation, if the location of frontal lobe epileptogenic foci is clear and can be removed without causing too much neurological deficit, cerebral cortex resection should be considered. If the lesions (such as tumor vascular malformation and cortical dysplasia) are found, they should be removed at the same time, and the treatment effect of epilepsy will be better.

Third, if we encounter non focal epilepsy in frontal lobe, there is no obvious structural abnormality on imaging, but through the examination after surgical resection, we still find abnormal changes in histology of non focal epilepsy.

matters needing attention

Patients with epilepsy should be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible. The earlier the treatment, the smaller the brain injury, the less the recurrence and the better the prognosis. It is necessary to use drugs correctly and rationally, adjust the dosage in time, and pay attention to individual treatment.
