[Indications and long-term results of stereotactic operations in therapy-resistant epilepsy (author's transl)].
Stereotactic functional surgery was performed on 45 patients with predominantly temporal epilepsy. Results of up to 24 years (= 5.85 +/- 2.25 years) are reported. Depending on the type of seizure and after careful analysis of the EEG focus, the frequency and intensity of the various seizure types, as well as personality and behavior disturbances, can be improved in more than two-thirds of the cases. This improvement is achieved by combining different target points with coagulation of the subcortical motor and senso-motor centers and neuronal structures, thereby cutting off the mostly double-track corticosubcortical connections
