BACKGROUND: @entity302 is the second most common symptom in @entity7026 ( @entity2758 ) @entity1 . The consecutive reduction of life quality is a clinically underrated problem because treatment usually focuses on the prevention of @entity1779 . OBJECTIVE: To evaluate postoperative @entity410 outcome with the aim of more accurate counseling for postoperative @entity410 outcome. METHODS: From 1985 to 2012, 294 @entity1 with an @entity2758 were surgically treated by J.S. One hundred twenty-six @entity1 with preoperative @entity410 or @entity302 could be identified; 103 of 126 had a follow-up of at least 12 months and were included in the analysis. The different @entity302 subtypes were categorized ( @entity410 , @entity302 , @entity302 [ @entity302 ]). Preoperative workup and surgical technique were evaluated. @entity410 outcome was analyzed by using International League Against @entity302 . RESULTS: Sporadic @entity410 were identified in 41% of @entity1 ( @entity302 and @entity302 were identified in 36% and 23%, respectively). Detailed preoperative epileptological workup was done in 13%. @entity410 freedom was achieved in 77% (79% at 5 years, 84% at 10 years). Outcome was significantly poorer in @entity302 cases. More extensive resection was performed in 11 cases with longstanding symptoms (>24 months) and resulted in better @entity410 outcome as well as the short duration of preoperative @entity410 history. CONCLUSION: @entity1 presenting with @entity2758 -associated @entity302 have a favorable @entity410 outcome after surgical treatment. Long-standing @entity302 and the progress into @entity302 markedly deteriorate the chances to obtain @entity410 freedom and should be considered an early factor in establishing the indication for @entity2758 removal.
