Stereotactic radiofrequency amygdalohippocampectomy (AHE) has been reintroduced as an alternative treatment of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. The aim of this study was to describe MRI changes after stereotactic AHE and to correlate the hippocampal and amygdalar volumes reduction with the clinical seizure outcome. Eighteen patients after stereotactic AHE were included. ⋯ In 3 patients, temporary meningeal syndrome developed. Results of radiofrequency AHE are promising. The volume reduction of target structures after AHE is significantly related to the clinical outcome.
