Abstract
Two patients with complex partial epilepsy and tumour of the temporal lobe scheduled for gamma knife radiosurgery were evaluated pre- and po stoperatively by multichannel magnetoencephalography (MEG). Centers of epileptic dipole activity found preoperatively disappeared after the focal irradiation as did the epileptic seizures. Thus, to combine ster eotactic MEG and gamma knife radiosurgery seems to be a non-invasive a lternative to the conventional neurosurgery in focal epilepsy.
