Total posterior quadrant disconnection for drug‐resistant epilepsy in children
Due to lack of analysis on pediatric total PQD cases, 61 pediatric patients who underwent total PQD surgery were retrospectively enrolled. Seizure and development results were collected and analyzed as dependent variables. The study found that 70.5% of patients were seizure-free and showed development improvement, with no deaths or severe complications reported. Prognosis predictors included APOS and interictal EEG abnormalities beyond the posterior quadrant.
