The Prognosis for Control of Seizures with Medications in Patients with MRI Evidence for Mesial Temporal Sclerosis

Abstract

Not all patients with MTS are medically intractable; 25% of the patients in our study achieved complete control while receiving medication. Poor seizure control was related to an early age of seizure onset, a history of febrile convulsions, and epileptiform discharges on the EEG.
