ObjectiveTo explore the clinical features and surgical treatment effects of the temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis.MethodsForty two patients diagnosed as temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis and underwent protemporal lobectomy in Wuhan Brain Hospital from Jan. 2012 to Dec. 2018 were collected, which included 30 males and 12 females, with the age between 9 to 60 years. Their disease duration ranged from 3 to 10 years. The clinical manifestations showed complex partial seizure in 18 cases, partial-secondary –generalized seizure in 4 cases, and generalized tonic-clonic seizure in 20 cases. Based on their results of clinical manifestations, combined with MRI and VEEG results, all the patients underwent anterior temporal lobectomy (including the most parts of the hippocampus and amydala).ResultsThe postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of hippocampal sclerosis. The follow-up of more than 1 year showed seizure-free in 38 cases, and significant improvement in 4 cases.ConclusionsTo the patients of temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis, anterior temporal lobectomy should be performed (including the most parts of the hippocampus and amydala) if the VEEG monitoring results show that there are epileptic discharges in the ipsilateral temporal lobe. And the postoperative curative result is satisfactory.
