Cortical resections. None of the temporal resections were 'standard'; all included anterior neocortical and mesial limbic structures, tailored posteriorly according to EEG, lesional data, and location of language cortex. For seizures that originated posteriorly, resection of the temporal convexity and the basal neocortex was extended further posteriorly, with the vein of Labbe undercut if needed. Extratemporal resections consisted of complete removal of the lesion combined with corticectomy tailored to the epileptogenic region. Anterior frontal epileptogenic regions were often treated by medial or lateral wedge resections; posterior frontal, parietal, and occipital foci were more likely to be treated by tailored corticectomy alone |
