Resective epilepsy surgery in childhood: the Dutch experience 1992-2002.
We present the outcome of resective epilepsy surgery in 69 pediatric patients who participated in the Dutch Collaborative Epilepsy Surgery Program (DCESP) between 1992 and 2002 with special emphasis on long-term follow-up. ⋯ Our results support previous reports that surgery for intractable epilepsy in pediatric patients can be safely performed with satisfactory long-term results. Best results are attained in temporal resections.
