To assess short-and long-term seizure freedom,the authors reviewed 371 patients who underwent anterior temporal lobectomy to treat pharmacoresistant epilepsy.The mean follow-up duration was 5.5 years(range 1 to 14.1 years).Fifty-three percent of patients were seizure free at 10 years.The authors identified multiple predictors of recurrence.Results of EEG performed 6 months postoperatively correlated with occurrence and severity of seizure recurrence,in addition to breakthrough seizures with discontinuation of antiepileptic drugs.
