Background

This study was to identify seizure outcome following epilepsy surgery in paediatric group using Engel classification.

Methods

This study was a retrospective cohort study over a period of eight years from 1 January 2012 until 1 July 2019.

n = 29 patients
Results
96.6%
children were seizure-free immediately after brain surgery for seizures
n = 29 patients
More results

The mean time between seizure onset and surgery was 5.6 years.

Hippocampal Sclerosis was present in 13 patients (44.8%).

There are significant changes in post operative Anti Epileptic Medications (AEDs) reduction in this study ( P = 0.006).

More results

Possible risk factor of seizure was suggestive for less recurrence of seizure, which may become a predictor to achieve Engel I classification in this study ( P = 0.052).

“
Conclusion

The surgery outcome of epilepsy surgery of the temporal lobe in paediatric group was comparable in this study. Careful patient selection by multidisciplinary evaluations is mandatory.
