ABSTRACT
The extratemporal operative approaches for intractable epilepsy are reviewed. Intracranial recordings are often necessary for extratemporal epilepsy to define the lateratization as well as the localization of epileptogenic regions and tailor the resection. The operative procedures include cortical resections, corpus callosotomy, and functional hemispherectomy. The author presents an overview of indications for surgery, oprative methods, and risks in the medically intractable epileptic patient with extratemporal focus.
Key Words: Extratemporal epilepsy; Intracranial recording; Resection; Callosotomy; Hemispherectomy
