Refimprove date February 2011 Approximately 60 of all patients with epilepsy 0.4 of the population of industrialized countries suffer from focal epilepsy syndromes. In 15 to 20 of these patients, the condition is not adequately controlled with Anticonvulsant anticonvulsive drugs . Such patients are potential candidates for surgical epilepsy treatment. Epilepsy surgery involves a neurosurgical procedure where an area of the brain involved in seizures is either resected, disconnected or stimulated. The goal is to eliminate seizures or significantly reduce seizure burden. First line therapy for epilepsy involves treatment with anticonvulsive drugs, also called antiepileptic drugs. Most patients will respond to one or two different medication trials. The goal of this treatment is the elimination of seizures, since uncontrolled seizures carry significant risks, including injury and sudden death. However, in up to one third of patients with epilepsy, medications alone will be unable to eliminate seizures, or cause unacceptable adverse effects . In these patients, work up for the feasibility of epilepsy surgery is considered. Generally, surgery is considered in patients whose seizures cannot be controlled by adequate trials of two different medications. Epilepsy surgery has been performed for more than a century, but its use dramatically increased in the 1980s and 90s, reflecting its efficacy in selected patients. ref cite journal author Spencer SS, Berg AT, Vickrey BG, et al. title Initial outcomes in the Multicenter Study of Epilepsy Surgery. journal Neurology volume 61 issue 12 pages 1680 5 year 2003 month December pmid 14694029 doi 10.1212 01.WNL.0000098937.35486.A3 ref See also Epilepsy is usually controlled, but not cured, with medication.
