This retrospective study proposes ictal EEG patterns as possible predictors of postoperative prognosis in TLE-HS. A mesial pattern correlates with better outcomes, indicating a potentially more circumscribed epileptogenic zone. Patients with lateral/mixed patterns may benefit from additional investigations to delineate the epileptogenic zone. Further studies are warranted to validate and extend these findings.
