Drug-resistant patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and auras had a poorer prognosis.

Patients with temporal lobe epilepsy are more likely to fare poorly after surgery if they experience auditory auras. When Ali A. Asadi-Pooya and associates performed a retrospective analysis of 1186 drug-resistant patients who had had a temporal resection, they found that those with auditory auras were more likely to relapse after surgery, when compared to those who did not experience the auras (P=.03). The side of the head in which the procedure was performed did not affect postoperative prognosis.
