Low-grade temporal gliomas: Surgical strategy and long-term seizure outcome

Highlights • Surgery on temporal lobe low-grade glioma provides satisfactory results related to seizure. • Total removal decreases the rate of recurrence and anti-epileptic drug use. • Children also benefit surgery as adults do. • Long-term follow-up is mandatory for objective results. • The extent...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Surgery on temporal lobe low-grade glioma provides satisfactory results related to seizure. • Total removal decreases the rate of recurrence and anti-epileptic drug use. • Children also benefit surgery as adults do. • Long-term follow-up is mandatory for objective results. • The extent of resection is limited by the dominance of the temporal lobe.
