Abstract

Purpose of reviewTo review the current practices and evidence for the diagnostic accuracy and the benefits of presurgical evaluation.Recent findingsPreoperative evaluation of patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsies and subsequent epilepsy surgery leads to a significant proportion of seizure-free patients. Even those who are not completely seizure free postoperatively often experience improved quality of life with better social integration. Systematic reviews and meta-analysis on the diagnostic accuracy are available for Video-electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electric and magnetic source imaging, and functional MRI for lateralization of language and memory. There are currently no evidence-based international guidelines for presurgical evaluation and epilepsy surgery.SummaryPresurgical evaluation is a complex multidisciplinary and multiprofessional clinical pathway. We rely on limited consensus-based recommendations regarding the required staffing or methodological expertise in epilepsy centers.
