We conducted a prospective study on 26 patients (M\/F 14\/12, age: 33 \u00b1 7.5 years, range 19\u201348) with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) who were followed for 2 years after surgery and who underwent routine EEG recordings 5.6 \u00b1 3 months (range 3\u201312) postoperatively. Interictal epileptiform activity (IEA) on the EEG was compared in 17 seizure-free patients to 9 patients with recurrent seizures. The two groups were similar in gender, age, febrile convulsions, trauma, family history, seizure frequency prior to surgery, epilepsy duration and number of antiepileptic drugs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Following surgery, 17 study patients (65%) became seizure free; 9 (35%) had seizure recurrence. Postoperative EEG recordings showed IEA in 8\/26 study patients (31%), 3 of whom were from the seizure-free group (3\/17, 18%); 5 had seizure recurrence (5\/9, 56%) (p=0.078). IEAs in postoperative EEGs were less frequently demonstrated in patients who were seizure free, but the presence of postoperative IEAs does not preclude successful surgical outcome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/155005940703800309","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,22]],"date-time":"2012-02-22T16:03:18Z","timestamp":1329926598000},"page":"137-142","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Prognostic Significance of Interictal Epileptiform Activity in Postoperative EEGs of Patients with Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Svetlana","family":"Kipervasser","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"EEG and Epilepsy Unit, Department of Neurology, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sari","family":"Nagar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Functional Neurosurgery Unit, Department of Neurosurgery, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vladimir","family":"Chistik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EEG and Epilepsy Unit, Department of Neurology, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Uri","family":"Kramer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neuropediatric Unit, Department of Pediatrics, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Itzhak","family":"Fried","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Functional Neurosurgery Unit, Department of Neurosurgery, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel"},{"name":"Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel"},{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery UCLA, California, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miri Y.","family":"Neufeld","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EEG and Epilepsy Unit, Department of Neurology, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel"},{"name":"Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-155005940703800309","first-page":"609","volume-title":"Surgical Treatment of the Epilepsies","author":"Engel J","year":"1993","edition":"2"},{"key":"bibr2-155005940703800309","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.70.4.450"},{"key":"bibr3-155005940703800309","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0920-1211(03)00087-1"},{"key":"bibr4-155005940703800309","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/awg013"},{"key":"bibr5-155005940703800309","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.58.10.1505"},{"key":"bibr6-155005940703800309","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1528-1157.2003.39202.x"},{"key":"bibr7-155005940703800309","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1528-1157.1999.tb01988.x"},{"key":"bibr8-155005940703800309","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1528-1157.1992.tb02317.x"},{"key":"bibr9-155005940703800309","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1528-1157.1995.tb00990.x"},{"key":"bibr10-155005940703800309","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.seizure.2003.10.007"},{"key":"bibr11-155005940703800309","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.seizure.2005.07.007"},{"key":"bibr12-155005940703800309","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004691-200307000-00005"},{"key":"bibr13-155005940703800309","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0317167100029450"}],"container-title":["Clinical EEG and Neuroscience"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/155005940703800309","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/155005940703800309","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/155005940703800309","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T19:11:24Z","timestamp":1777403484000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/155005940703800309"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,7]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2007,7]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/155005940703800309"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/155005940703800309","relation":{},"ISSN":["1550-0594","2169-5202"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1550-0594","type":"print"},{"value":"2169-5202","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,7]]}}}
