Neuropsychological assessments in a large cohort of pediatric palliative epilepsy surgery patients

All types of patients undergoing palliative epilepsy surgery had some neuropsychological testing. However, those with lower IQ and those undergoing CC or hemispherectomy were less likely to undergo testing. Reduced rates of testing in certain groups indicates room for improvement, especially given recommendations to use testing to help determine surgical success.

Abstract

All types of patients undergoing palliative epilepsy surgery had some neuropsychological testing. However, those with lower IQ and those undergoing CC or hemispherectomy were less likely to undergo testing. Reduced rates of testing in certain groups indicates room for improvement, especially given recommendations to use testing to help determine surgical success.
