The effect of surgery on the postictal state.
The effect of surgery on the postictal state has not been studied in a systematic fashion. There is limited literature looking at the effect on postictal psychosis. The effect of surgery on this phenomenon has been varied with post ictal psychosis occurring post surgery when it has not occurred prior to surgery as well as resolution after surgery. Case reports of post ictal Kluver Bucy Syndrome and Capgas Syndrome have been reported after resective epilepsy surgery as well.
