In a retrospective analysis of 333 patients with drug-resistant epilepsy who underwent temporal lobe epilepsy surgery, 26 (7.8%) had somatosensory aura (SSA). Nearly half (12) of those with SSA had unilateral sensory symptoms; the rest had bilateral symptoms. Patients with SSA showed no differences in clinical and imaging characteristics compared with those without SSA; however they did have a higher rate of breakthrough seizures.
