To determine patient-oriented outcome after anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) for refractory epilepsy. Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is an important component of the assessment of outcome from epilepsy surgery, but prior controlle d studies of the effect of surgery on HRQOL are inconclusive. Our findings support a positive affect of ATL on patients concerns and HRQOL in refractory temporal lobe epilepsy, although longitudinal studies are needed to corroborate these results. Mood, employment, driving ability, and AED use are important postoperative predictors of HRQOL. |
