Neurosurgical Approaches to Epilepsy: Evolving Paradigms
Author(s): Paula Daniel*
Epilepsy, a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, remains a significant challenge for clinicians, especially in cases where patients exhibit resistance to pharmacological treatments. Over the past few decades, neurosurgical interventions have evolved as critical therapeutic options for individuals with refractory epilepsy. This review explores the current and emerging neurosurgical approaches to epilepsy, highlighting the paradigms that have shaped modern practice. Traditional procedures, such as temporal lobectomy and lesionectomy, have long been established as effective for specific types of epilepsy, particularly temporal lobe epilepsy. However, advances in neuroimaging, electrophysiological mapping, and minimally invasive techniques have expanded the repertoire of surgical options, enabling more precise targeting of epileptogenic zones while minimizing..
