Abstract

Background: The indications for the reoperation of a recurrent temporal lobe epilepsy, the risks, and outcome have not been well documented. The invasive video electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques can reveal the residual tissues and their epileptogenic activity so that a reoperation decision can be made.
