Temporal Trends in Hippocampal Sclerosis Surgery: An Observational Study From a Tertiary Epilepsy Centre
Our study confirms the decline in hippocampal surgeries. This trend may be due to changes in the syndrome's natural history, possibly from improved paediatric care, and an increase in complex cases. The impact of delayed referrals, surgical risk fears and newer anti-seizure medications remains unclear.
