Abstract
- Authors report a case of intractable temporal lobe epilepsy recorded by the foramen ovale electrode and underwent standard temporal lobectomy including amygdalohippocampectomy. The foramen ovale electrode for analysis of seizures provides good neurophysiological information in candidates for resective surgery. Also the foramen ovale elctrode is a relatively simple free hand procedure and relatively nontraumatic to the brain. In conclusion, the foramen ovale electrode recording in the presurgical evaluation of intractable temporal lobe epilepsy might provide sufficient information to select a candidates for temporal lobectomy or selective amygdalohippocampectomy.
