摘要：

Quality of life (QOL) with respect to seizure outcome, cognitive performance, and depressive symptoms was analyzed in 21 adult patients undergoing extratemporal epilepsy surgery (EXTLE). The Subjective Handicap of Epilepsy questionnaire was administered before and I year after surgery. Additionally, cognitive performance, depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory), and seizure frequency were assessed. After surgery, seizure frequency decreased and various aspects of QOL significantly improved. Improvements in the domain of Work and Activities correlated with a reduction in complex partial seizure frequency. Alterations in the subscale change correlated with a decrease in simple partial seizure frequency. The present results provide detailed evidence that patients with extratemporal epilepsy benefit from epilepsy surgery. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
