Relapse from the contralateral mesial temporal lobe, extratemporal lobe epilepsy mimicking TLE, or temporal plus epilepsy might account for surgical failures. Methods: We included patients with a pre-implantation hypothesis suggesting TLE, who underwent stereo-EEG (SEEG) evaluation at our institution and had an individual SEEG exploration paradigm with at least twelve stereo-electrodes placed to sixteen brain regions allowing exploration of limbic and paralimbic networks. We analyzed the prevalence of TLE subtypes based on ictal onset localization with SEEG and response to resective surgery. Results: Twenty-four subjects met the inclusion criteria. Seven patients had unilateral mesial temporal epilepsy (UMTE), five had bilateral mesial temporal epilepsy (BMTE), five had unilateral neocortical temporal epilepsy (UNTE), six had temporal-plus epilepsy (TPE), one had extratemporal epilepsy (ETE). The number of patients who underwent destructive surgeries and surgical outcomes are as follows: UMTE\u2014all seven patients, Engel I; BMTE- three out of five, Engel I, III, and IV, respectively; UNTE\u2014three out of five, Engel I; TLE mimic (ETE)\u2014one, Engel I; TPE\u2014all six patients, Engel I\u2013three, Engel III\u2013two, Engel IV\u2014one. Conclusions: In our study, UMTE was the most frequent TLE subtype (29%), and all patients proceeded to resective surgery with good outcomes. TPE comprised a substantial component (25%) of this cohort with initially presumed TLE, who had a notable proportion of unfavorable outcomes. Larger studies are needed to create guidelines for rational counseling of patients with presumed TLE regarding surgical outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14072184","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,24]],"date-time":"2025-03-24T06:21:38Z","timestamp":1742797298000},"page":"2184","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Prevalence of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE) Subtypes and Response to Resective Surgery in Patients with Presumed TLE Undergoing Limbic and Paralimbic Network Exploration with Stereo-Electrodes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2143-3123","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Irina","family":"Podkorytova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, 5323 Harry Hines Blvd, Dallas, TX 75390-8508, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5859-0862","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sasha","family":"Alick-Lindstrom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, 5323 Harry Hines Blvd, Dallas, TX 75390-8508, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kan","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, 5323 Harry Hines Blvd, Dallas, TX 75390-8508, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3727-6225","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ryan","family":"Hays","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, 5323 Harry Hines Blvd, Dallas, TX 75390-8508, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2480-9499","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ghazala","family":"Perven","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, 5323 Harry Hines Blvd, Dallas, TX 75390-8508, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"630853","article-title":"Review of the epidemiology of temporal lobe epilepsy","volume":"2012","year":"2012","journal-title":"Epilepsy Res.
