Résumé

Resective surgery is a well-established treatment for pharmacoresistant frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE), but seizure outcome and prognostic indicators are poorly characterised and vary between studies. Objective: To study long-term seizure outcome and identify prognostic factors. Methods: We retrospectively analysed 42 FLE patients having undergone surgical resection, mostly preceded by invasive recordings with stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG). Post-surgical outcome up to 10 years' follow-up and prognostic indicators were analysed using Kaplan-Meier analysis, multivariate and conditional inference procedures. Results: At the time of last follow-up 57.1% of patients were seizure-free. The estimated chance of seizure freedom was 67% (95% CI 54-83) at 6 months, 59% (95% CI 46-76) at 1 year, 53% (95% CI 40-71) at 2 years and 46 % (95% CI 32-66) at 5 years. Most relapses (83%) occurred within the first 12 months. Multivariate analysis showed that completeness of resection of the epileptogenic zone (EZ) as defined by SEEG was the main predictor of seizure outcome. According to conditional inference trees, in patients with complete resection of the epileptogenic zone, focal cortical dysplasia as aetiology and focal EZ were positive prognostic indicators. No difference in outcome was found in patients with positive versus negative MRI. Conclusion: Surgical resection in drug-resistant FLE can be a successful therapeutic approach, even in the absence of neuroradiologically visible lesions. SEEG may be highly useful in both non-lesional and lesional FLE cases, since complete resection of the EZ as defined by SEEG is associated with better prognosis.
