Epilepsy surgery: non-invasive versus invasive focus localization. What is needed from a neurological point of view?
Epilepsy surgery should be performed as early as possible when intractable seizures are diagnosed together with a well-defined focus in a resectable part of the brain. All patients with epilepsy, and especially all children with epilepsy, should therefore be followed by a neurologist or a child neurologist specially trained in epileptology.
