Focal cortical resections for the treatment of extratemporal epilepsy in children.

A R Prats1, G Morrison, A L Wolf.   

Abstract

Epilepsy in children is a common and disabling disorder. Approximately 10% to 20% of patients who develop seizures will have medically intractable epilepsy. This group of patients may be candidates for epilepsy surgery. Unlike adults, epilepsy in children frequently arises in extratemporal sites. The surgical treatment of this extratemporal epilepsy is discussed in this article.
