Objective To explore the application value of MRS combined with VEEG on the surgical treatment of temporal lobe epilepsy. Methods There were 31 males and 20 females, age between 4 and 62 years.Their illness duration ranged from 4 to 10 years.The clinical manifestations showed complex partial seizure in 10 cases, secondary generalized seizure in 12 and generalized tonic-clonic seizure in 29. Based on their results of clinical manifestations, MRS and VEEG results, all the patients underwent anterior temporal lobectomy(including the most parts of the hippocampus and amydala). Results The follow-up of 1~3 years after the operation showed seizure free in 36 cases(Engle Ⅰ), and significant improvement in 11(Engle Ⅱ), no improvement in 4 cases(Engle Ⅳ). The overall effective rate was 92.16%. Conclusions MRS combined with VEEG has significant localization value for temporal lobe epilepsy. The prognosis of postoperative result is quiet good to the patient of typical temporal lobe epilepsy after anterior temporal lobectomy.
