Epilepsy Surgery in Drug-Resistant Epilepsy Facilitated by Artificial Intelligence: A Case of Left Temporal Encephalocele

This case illustrates the transformative potential of epilepsy surgery for individuals with DRE and the promising role of artificial intelligence augmented triage systems in reducing delays to surgical referral. Given the morbidity, mortality, and economic burden associated with DRE, timely surgical evaluation should be considered the standard of care for eligible patients. Integrating artificial intelligence tools into clinical workflows may help overcome longstanding barriers to access and ensure that life-changing interventions are offered earlier in the disease course.
