Abstract / Bemerkung
PURPOSE: To investigate the very long-term (i.e., ≥15 years) seizure, cognitive and psycho-social outcomes in resected patients (RP) with TLE compared to control patients not having undergone epilepsy surgery.; METHODS: We applied a multiple case-study design including three non-resected patients (NRP) who were compared to a group of six RP. The latter were matched to the NRP according to clinical-demographic data. Outcome measures were various seizure, cognitive, and psycho-social variables.; RESULTS: Patients were 56-72 years old. Seizure and AED outcome was more favourable among RP. RP reported better self-perceived overall health but higher subjective memory complaints. Upon formal neuropsychological testing, RP presented with lower verbal memory scores. Very long-term memory decline was evident in left-sided RP with good baseline memory scores, while RP with lower baseline performance, right-sided RP and NRP remained stable. Seizure-freedom had remarkable effects on the relationship between objective and subjective outcome: seizure-free patients, in general, subjectively reported the best psychosocial and cognitive outcome - irrespective of neuropsychological test results.; CONCLUSION: Our study suggests positive effects of TLE surgery in the very long-term course of ≥15 years postoperatively. Long-term seizure-freedom appears to have the strongest impact on patients' subjectively perceived psycho-social and cognitive outcome and may even outweigh actual memory disturbances and/or decline. Overall, our data do not support the assumption of a generally accelerated cognitive decline in patients with TLE. Copyright © 2019 British Epilepsy Association. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
