The clinical variables, including patients\u2019 characteristics, preoperative evaluations, pathology, surgical prognosis, and surgical predictors were assessed the discrepancies between TLE children versus adults using univariate and multivariate analyses. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to calculate the probability of seizure freedom and AEDs withdrawal after ATL, and the difference between TLE children and adults was analyzed using the Log-Rank test.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There were significant differences including semiology, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations, numbers of preoperative AEDs, and pathologies between TLE children and adults (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05, <jats:italic>Q<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05). The MRI-detected epileptic focus was the only independent predictor of seizure freedom (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.002, <jats:italic>Q<\/jats:italic> = 0.036) in TLE children, and the concordance of MRI-detected focus with video-electroencephalography (video-EEG)-detected epileptic zone was the only variable associated with seizure freedom in TLE adults (<jats:italic>OR<\/jats:italic> = 2.686, 95% <jats:italic>CI<\/jats:italic> = 1.014\u20137.115, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.047).

TLE children had a higher possibility of AEDs withdrawal than adults after surgery. The favorable seizure outcome of ATL depended on the early complete resection of MRI-detected epileptogenic focus in TLE children, while the concordance of MRI-detected focus with EEG-detected epileptogenic zone was the only predictor of favorable seizure outcomes in TLE adults.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnins.2022.1037244","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,16]],"date-time":"2022-11-16T06:50:37Z","timestamp":1668581437000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The differential role of magnetic resonance imaging in predicting surgical outcomes between children versus adults with temporal lobe epilepsy"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Ke","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiongfei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuguang","family":"Guan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tianfu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guoming","family":"Luan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1505","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.58.10.1505","article-title":"Predicting surgical outcome in temporal lobe epilepsy patients using MRI and MRSI.","volume":"58","author":"Antel","year":"2002","journal-title":"Neurology"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"42","DOI":"10.1016\/j.seizure.2015.05.015","article-title":"Age at onset in patients with medically refractory temporal lobe epilepsy and mesial temporal sclerosis: Impact on clinical manifestations and postsurgical outcome.","volume":"30","author":"Asadi-Pooya","year":"2015","journal-title":"Seizure"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"128","DOI":"10.1111\/epi.16772","article-title":"Temporal lobe epilepsy surgery in children and adults: A multicenter study.","volume":"62","author":"Barba","year":"2021","journal-title":"Epilepsia"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e96","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0000000000005776","article-title":"European trends in epilepsy surgery.","volume":"91","author":"Baud","year":"2018","journal-title":"Neurology"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2","DOI":"10.1111\/epi.12305","article-title":"Withdrawal of antiepileptic drugs: Guidelines of the Italian League Against Epilepsy.","author":"Beghi","year":"2013","journal-title":"Epilepsia"},{"key":"B6","first-page":"1648","article-title":"Histopathological findings in brain tissue obtained during epilepsy surgery.","volume":"377","author":"Blumcke","year":"2017","journal-title":"Epilepsy Curr."},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"467","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1528-1157.1991.tb04679.x","article-title":"Intracranial, intraaxial, space-occupying lesions in patients with intractable partial seizures: An anatomoclinical, neuropsychological, and surgical correlation.","volume":"32","author":"Boon","year":"1991","journal-title":"Epilepsia"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2","DOI":"10.1053\/j.sult.2007.11.005","article-title":"Hippocampal sclerosis: Histopathology substrate and magnetic resonance imaging.","volume":"29","author":"Bote","year":"2008","journal-title":"Semin.
