ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the surgical outcomes of pediatric symptomatic epilepsy and the influencing factors for postoperative outcomes.METHODS:
A cohort of 48 children with symptomatic epilepsy received surgical treatment from October 2004 to September 2008. The surgical outcomes were followed up.RESULTS:
A 27.3 months (range 12-51 months) follow-up was performed in 43 cases. Engel classification for evaluating postoperative epileptic outcomes showed that class I in 32 cases (74%), class II in 4 cases (9%), class III in 4 cases (9%) and class IV in 3 cases (7%). Preoperative seizure frequency is an independent predictor of postoperative epileptic outcomes (P<0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
Operative treatment can lead to a favorable result in children with symptomatic epilepsy. Preoperative seizure frequency is an independent influencing factor for postoperative outcomes.
