BACKGROUND: This study was to describe the evolution of patients who underwent surgical treatment of drug- resistant occipital lobe epilepsy (OLE) at our institution.
METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of data collected from electronic and paper clinical records of 20 patients who were diagnosed of OLE and underwent epilepsy surgery at our institution between 1998 and 2018. We also contacted patients by telephone and asked them to fill out a questionnaire about quality of life in epilepsy (QOLIE-10). Assembled data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
RESULTS: The age at surgery ranged between 19 and 55 years. The period encompassing epilepsy onset and the date of surgery was variable. Semiology of seizures included visual symptoms in 75% of patients. In 90% of cases subdural grids, depth electrodes or a combination of both were used to plan the surgery. The most frequent neuroimaging and histopathological finding was cortical dysplasia (55%). The postoperative follow-up period was up to 15 years. The most common score on the Engel scale was I (70%). Visual deficits increased after surgery. Median score on QOLIE-10 questionnaire was 82.5 (interquartile range: 32.5).
CONCLUSION: Surgical treatment of drug-resistant OLE offers hopeful results to those patients who have run out of pharmacological options and leads to postoperative deficits that are deemed expectable and occasionally acceptable.
