Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery

In 1997, Jean AICARDI, one of the most brilliant child neurologists of
our era, commented on How the view has changed in the field of
pediatric epilepsy surgery: Surgery for epilepsy has now become a
realistic therapeutic option for selected children and the field is
likely to increase in the near future. It is now realised that
procrastination, in the hope that new antiepileptic drugs will become
efficacious, is not justified for some forms of epilepsy that can
often be recognised from onset or after a relatively short course. It
is also becoming clear that surgery is not reserved for a highly
selected population of patients with normal intelligence and focal
seizures, but may also help a proportion of more severe epilepsies if
a realistic view of the problem and perspectives is taken by the
partners.

Twenty years later, the most obvious and probably still the strongest
reasons against epilepsy surgery in children are cultural and
psychological. This book, written by members of the ad hoc ILAE Task
Force for pediatric epilepsy surgery and experts in the field, is the
result of continued collaborative working between pediatric epilepsy
surgery centres over the years. Authors critically review all
available data and set out the key elements of presurgical evaluation,
the specific electro-clinical presentations per etiology, the range of
outcomes to be monitored, and the surgical techniques used today.
