Surgery is a highly effective treatment for patients with epileptic seizures following temporal lobe encephalocele. In our sample, favorable postoperative outcomes were achieved in 76% of patients (Engel class I). There were no significant differences in effectiveness between selective resection and temporal lobectomy. Further research is necessary for a clear protocol of surgical treatment of focal drug-resistant epilepsy associated with encephalocele.
