Seizures associated with tuberous sclerosis (TS) can be difficult to control with medical therapy. The authors followed 22 patients with TS who underwent epilepsy surgery for 1 to 14 years to assess the value of epilepsy surgery and predictors of long-term postoperative outcome. Unifocal onset seizures and mild to no developmental delay at the time of surgery are predictive of excellent long-term outcome.

Received July 10, 2003. Accepted in final form October 6, 2003.
