Abstract
- Resection of seizure foci is an effective treatment for the control of medically intractable epilepsy. However, cognitive morbidity can occur as a result of surgical intervention. This morbidity is dependent on several factors, including location and extent of resection, disease characteristics, patient demographic characteristics, and functional status of the tissue to be resected. In this review article, the authors provide a summary of the neurocognitive outcomes of epilepsy surgery with an emphasis on presurgical predictors of postsurgical cognitive decline.
