PO18-WE-53 Effect of temporal lobe epilepsy surgery on cardiovascular autonomic functions (original) (raw)

those which had interictal EEGs without abnormalities (9 patients) or with bilateral abnormalities (21 patients). In addition, video-EEG monitoring made it possible to rectify the diagnosis among 48 other patients. This approach allowed us to start our first experiment in term of epilepsy surgical treatment. Thirty five patients (19 with HS and 16 with mass lesion) have been operated with good outcomes in 28 cases. Non satisfying results were mostly obtained in patients with an association of secondary generalized seizures and interictal EEG abnormalities. Currently we try to improve our protocol while waiting for accessibility of invasive investigations in our country.
