THE EVALUATION OF PATIENTS WITH INTRACTABLE COMPLEX PARTIAL SEIZURES ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY AND CLINICAL NEUROPHYSIOLOGY Lesser, R. P., Fisher, R. S., Kaplan, P. 1989; 73 (5): 381-388

Abstract

Conceptual advantages, together with advances in both technique and technology, have considerably altered the approach to intractable epilepsy over the past two decades. Appropriate utilization of these advances allows our evaluation of patients with intractable seizures to be much more precise and specific than was once the case and allows us to improve considerably our ability to treat patients with intractable epilepsy. We propose an algorithm for the evaluation and treatment of patients with intractable complex partial seizures. Other forms of intractable epilepsy may benefit from similar diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
