ObjectiveTo investigate the status and prognosis effect of surgical operation for Temporal lobe epilepsy.MethodsRetrospective analyses were performed on 24 patients with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy who were treated by surgery in Zibo Changguo Hospital and had complete clinical and follow-up data, during the period from April 2011 to June 2014. Among them, 14 were male and 10 were female, 16 to 44 years old, the average age was (24.40±6.26) years old, and the average course of disease was (12.50±8.42) years old. The clinical characteristics and prognosis of the patients were analyzed.ResultsAll 24 patients had hippocampal sclerosis and underwent "anterior temporal lobe and medial temporal structural resection". Patients were followed up for 5~7 years, the postoperative epileptic seizure of the patient reached grade Engel Ⅰ in 20 cases (83.3%), grade Engel Ⅱ in 2 cases (8.3%) and grade Engel Ⅳ in 2 cases (8.3%).ConclusionHippocampal sclerosis and cortical dysplasia were common in 24 patients, and the operation controlling intractable epilepsy was better. In order to improve the prognosis of patients, surgical treatment should be carried out as soon as possible.
