Neurosurgical management of intractable rolandic epilepsy in children: role of resection in eloquent cortex
Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, 09/03/09
Benifla M et al. – Resection of rolandic cortex for intractable epilepsy is possible with expected morbidity. Accurate mapping of regions of functional cortex and epileptogenic zones may lead to improved seizure outcome in children with intractable rolandic epilepsy. It is important to counsel patients and families preoperatively to prepare them for possible worsened functional outcome involving motor, sensory and/or language pathways.
