Preoperative IQ predicts seizure outcomes after anterior temporal lobectomy
Seizure - European Journal of Epilepsy, 08/28/09

Yu HY et al. – In this study, IQ tests were unable to lateralize seizure foci but may serve as an independent predictor of postoperative seizure outcomes. Since a longer duration of epilepsy had deleterious effects on intelligence, earlier surgical intervention might better preserve neuropsychological function and, consequently, allow better seizure control after ATL. Nonetheless, patients with lower IQ scores could still benefit from ATL.
