Popis: Aim: to discuss seizure outcomes of patients with invasive electroencephalography (EEG) monitorization (IEM) following their epilepsy surgery at our centre. Material and Methods: forty-seven patients suffering from refractory epilepsy and who were evaluated by invasive EEG were included in this retrospective study at Istanbul Faculty of Medicine from 2003 to 2017. We examined the Video EEG and invasive EEG monitorization, cranial MRI, SPECT, PET and neuropsychological tests of all patients. Postoperative seizure outcome results were evaluated according to Engel classification. The factors affecting seizure outcomes were discussed. Results: twenty-six of the patients were female (55.3%), 21 were male (44.7). The average age was 32.0 (+/- 12.4). Forty-three patients had surgery and the average age of these patients was 26,6 (+/- 11.15). 38.3% of the patients had hippocampal sclerosis (HS), 23.4% had focal cortical dysplasia (FCD), 8.5% had a tumor, 14.9% had sequela lesion and 14.9% had unknown etiology. Postoperative seizure status according to the Engel classification showed that 81.6% of the patients were class I, 10.5% were class II, 2.6% were class III and 5.3% were class IV. Conclusion: a significant relation was statistically determined between structural MRI lesion and favorable seizure outcome (p0.05). We argue that IEM is an essential examination for favorable outcomes for determining the epileptogenic zone and/or the proximity of the functional structures.
