Comparison Between Seizure Frequency in Patients With and Without Asymmetric Subcortical Findings on Any Ictal Study at 1 Year After Surgery Follow-Up
| Risk of persistent seizures at 1-y follow-up | Patients with mesial TLE* and neocortical epilepsy (n = 43) (%) | Subgroup of patients with neocortical epilepsy (n = 3) (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Asymmetric thalamus | 7.7 (0.4–37.9) | 10.0 (0.5–45.9) |
| Symmetric thalamus | 50.0 (30.4–69.6) | 61.9 (3.7–81.0) |
| Asymmetric basal ganglia | 7.1 (0.4–35.8) | 11.1 (0.6–40.2) |
| Symmetric basal ganglia | 52.0 (31.8–71.7) | 25.0 (6.7–57.2) |
↵* None of 8 patients with mesial temporal epilepsy who underwent surgery had seizures at 1 y or at last follow-up.
