Abstract
Epilepsy in children is a common and disabling disorder. Approximately 10% to 20% of patients who develop seizures will have medically intra ctable epilepsy. This group of patients may be candidates for epilepsy surgery. Unlike adults, epilepsy in children frequently arises in ext ratemporal sites. The surgical treatment of this extratemporal epileps y is discussed in this article.
