Association of Combined MRI, Interictal EEG, and Ictal EEG Results with Outcome and Pathology After Temporal Lobectomy

Abstract

Compared to other combinations of test results, concordance of MRI and interictal EEG is most closely associated with surgical outcome in MBTLE. However, most selected patients have pathologic confirmation of MTS regardless of test results or outcome. This information may be useful for planning the presurgical evaluation of patients with medically intractable MBTLE.
