[Clinical and neurophysiologic aspects of surgical treatment of pharmacoresistant forms of epilepsy].
Surgical treatment of pharmacoresistant forms of epilepsy under neurophysiological monitoring is a key problem studied in A.L. Polenov Russian Neurosurgical Institute (Saint-Petersburg). A summary of long-term studies and main stages of surgical treatment development are presented. The indications and contra-indications, along with basic neurophysiologic strategic and tactic arguments of open and stereotaxic treatment of focal and generalized epilepsy based on neurophysiologic model which determines a role of epileptic focus, epileptic and inhibiting brain systems in spreading and arresting of seizure discharge at each disease stage are formulated. A program of clinico-neurophysiologic monitoring of temporal epilepsy in pre- and intraoperative periods is considered.
