Among children who have had surgical resection of epileptic lesions, it may be wise to continue postoperative invasive monitoring, suggests this investigation of 71 patients published in Epilepsy Research.
- A retrospective analysis of 5 patients with MRI-negative epilepsy and 66 patients with MRI-identified neocortical lesions, post-resection invasive monitoring yielded positive outcomes in 86%.
- In 55 of 71 patients, post-resection monitoring resulted in additional resections.
- Postop monitoring detected clinical seizures at the resection margins, subclinical seizures and interictal discharges at the resection margins, and both clinical and subclinical seizures that indicated a new epileptogenic focus.
