Optimal timing and differential significance of postoperative awake and sleep EEG to predict seizure outcome after temporal lobectomy

Postoperative EEG is useful for predicting the seizure outcome and to make decisions about antiepileptic drug (AED) withdrawal following epilepsy surgery (Rathore and Radhakrishnan, 2010; Rathore et al., 2011c). Presence of interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) on a single postoperative EEG is associated with an increased risk of unfavorable seizure outcome and a higher risk of seizure recurrence on AED withdrawal following temporal and extratemporal surgeries (Menon et al., 2012; Rathore et al., 2011b,2011c; Rathore and Radhakrishnan, 2010).
