Focal irradiation of the brain: an alternative to temporal lobe resection in intractable focal epilepsy?

E Elomaa.   

Abstract

Reconciling the early promising results of radiation therapy in the treatment of epilepsy with the recent theory concerning the role of nonsynaptic mechanisms in focal epileptogenesis, it is suggested that the potential of irradiation as an alternative to temporal lobe resection in intractable epilepsy should be re-evaluated.
