摘要：

We studied outcome subsequent to the initial post- temporal lobectomy seizure recurrence (n = 202) or remission. Two years after recurrence, there was 74% (95% CI 67% to 79%) probability of further seizures. Two years after a 2- year seizure remission, there was 68% (95% CI 52% to 79%) probability of remaining seizure- free (n = 50). Remission after seizures had a significantly poorer outcome than an equivalent period of complete seizure freedom after surgery. Implications for outcome classification are discussed.
