Abstract

Surgery for temporal lobe epilepsy refractory to medical treatment is a promising treatment option. After a short overview of historical developments in this field, we describe the present practice of presurgical evaluation and resection strategies as practiced at our institution and review the corresponding publications from other centers. We will be trying to outline major future developments for the surgical therapy of temporal lobe epilepsy based on present trends.

Zusammenfassung

Die operative Behandlung der medikamentös therapierefraktären Temporallappenepilepsie ist eine viel versprechende Behandlungsoption. Nach einem kurzen Überblick über die historische Entwicklung der Epilepsiechirurgie beschreiben wir die gegenwärtige Praxis der prächirurgischen Evaluation und der Resektionsstrategie, so wie sie an unserem Zentrum derzeit praktiziert werden. Darüberhinaus werden relevante Arbeiten anderer Zentren vorgestellt und diskutiert, um aus den gegenwärtigen Trends richtungsweisende zukünftige Entwicklungen der chirurgischen Behandlung bei Temporallappenepilepsie abzuleiten.
