- Abstract
Investigates the relationship between the presence of extratemporal hypometabolism on fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and seizure outcome after temporal lobectomy in patients with medically intractable temporal lobe epilepsy. Importance of the prediction of seizure control; Suggestion that thalamic hypometabolism may be secondary to extratemporal or temporal pathology.
