Abstract

Focal Cortical Dysplasia (FCD) is a neurodevelopment disorder which usually associates with intractable Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE) in children. This kind of epilepsy is a difficult challenge for the treating pediatric neurologist. We reported a case of 4-year-old right handed male patient who was reffered to emergency department in our hospital with decrease of consciousness after seizure. The patients had history of refracter epilepsy since 3 years before. his brain MRI suggested an FCD. We then did Anterior Temporal Lobectomy (ATL) with selective amygdalohippocampectomy to the patient. There were no seizure and no complication after surgery (Engel classification scale Class I). We find that ATL with selective amygdalohippocampectomy is an effective and safe surgical option for pediatric patients with TLE due to FCD.
